Essun

from the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin
Day 8 of favorite book characters
Absolutely thrilled that N.K. Jemisin was awarded a much-deserved MacArthur Fellowship! The Broken Earth trilogy is a landmark work, deeply moving and so well-crafted that I frequently had to pause just to savor how brilliantly it was put together. If I had to pick one character to go through the apocalypse with, it would hands-down be the stalwart Essun.
