Saw this while browsing Amazon for a new book to read over the Christmas break.
This book has won quite a few awards and seems very popular among sci-fi/fantasy readers and websites.
Synopsis from Amazon:
A New York Times Notable Book of 2015
Shortlisted for the Hugo, Nebula, Kitschies, Audie and Locus Awards
The inaugural Wired.com book club pickTHIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS … FOR THE LAST TIME.
IT STARTS WITH THE GREAT RED RIFT across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun.
IT STARTS WITH DEATH, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.
IT STARTS WITH BETRAYAL, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.
Really great book - start of one of the best speculative fiction series I've ever read. Not your elves and dragons style - completely original and quite a bit darker. Jump on this if you like stuff that tends toward literary over easy reading.
