The final book of the Broken Earth trilogy, ridiculously winning the treble: Hugo Award, Nebula Award and Locus Award. Each of the books in the trilogy has won a Hugo. Amazing achievement. Coming from such massive anticipation, however, I can only be immensely disappointed in this book.

I’ve heard this book for a very long time. It pretty much appears on every single book recommendation thread on Reddit, and the 3-Hugo-in-a-row phenomenon is also very intriguing. However, there is no Chinese translation, and after the misery of Oathbringer, I just lost all of my faith in reading long novels in English (I still read novellas and short stories from time to time tho).

See my personal book wiki entry for more.

I finished the prequel, Words of Radiance at 2018 January. At that time, Oathbringer had just been published (2017 November), and I knew I would have to wait perhaps a year or more if I decided to wait for the Chinese translation. I was also pretty confident about my English skills at that time, so, I decided to just buy the original version online.

I thought I would finish before the translation was out.

I was wrong.
