![]() ![]() ![]() But one thing is for sure: this season is shaping up to be one of the worst on record. Whether it is man-made or naturally occurring remains to be seen. The Equatorials have been obliterated in a seismic catastrophe that will come to be known as the Rifting. ![]() Jemisin introduces us to the tumultuous landscape of The Stillness on a particularly bad day for one of our protagonists, Essun. For thousands of years, a war has been raging on between Father Earth, orogenes (those who can quell and control seismic activity), and stills (those who cannot). Welcome to The Stillness! You haven’t come at a great time… although, on a supercontinent plagued with near-constant climatic cataclysms (known as Seasons), maybe there isn’t a good time. But this is the way the world ends… For the last time. When we say “the world has ended,” it is usually a lie, because the planet is just fine.
