Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries.
Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.
"Tell them they can be great someday, like us. Tell them they belong among us, no matter how we treat them. Tell them they must earn the respect which everyone else receives by default. Tell them there is a standard for acceptance; that standard is simply perfection. Kill those who scoff at these contradictions, and tell the rest that the dead deserved annihilation for their weakness and doubt. Then they'll break themselves trying for what they'll never achieve." (查看原文)
Earth our father knew He would need clever life, so He used the Seasons to shape us out of animals: clever hands for making things and clever minds for solving problems and clever tongues for working together and clever sessapinae to warn us of danger. The people became what Father Earth needed, and then more than He needed. Then we turned on Him, and He has burned with hatred for us ever since. (查看原文)
这种直接扔一堆名词出来，随着后续发展再慢慢填信息的奇幻其实对非母语读者来说确实有点困难，但同时代入感也逐步增强，像是被引领着一点点和一片陌生奇异的土地，和这里的人与历史慢慢熟悉起来。开始你是一名观光者，但不知何时你早已深陷其中。
作者对于故事节奏的把控很好，尤其是climax长短句的结合，每次都让我（吓得）屏住呼吸。

在路上看的，叙述方式有点故弄玄虚，因为并没有增加作品的文学性。可是结尾那么大坑，好像不追下去又不甘心。

本来以为是有点像三体的设定（每隔几十年触发一次第五季毁天灭地...），结果写着写着人物就开始挥舞着超能力石块砸来砸去了... 弃坑了

A page-turner. Thrilling and captivating. An imaginary world and narrative to escape into. The internalized oppression is quite relevant.

主角们拥有能够引发或者消解地震的能力，读完前几章会感觉是个类似 X-MEN 的「少数群体」故事。好在这感觉没持续太久，主线以 POV 的形式迅速展开又收拢，最后稳稳抛出一个 hook，举重若轻地告诉读者，「你看，这是关于他们，也是关于我们的，奴役与自由的故事。」
