“错综复杂而惊艳绝伦。”——New York Times评The Fifth Season（New York Times 2015年度关注图书）。这是曾获Hugo、Nebula及World Fantasy Award提名的作家N.K. Jemisin全新奇幻三部曲中的第二部小说。这就是世界终结的方式……最后一次。终结之季愈发晦暗，文明隐入漫长寒夜。Essun——曾经的Damaya，曾经的Syenite，如今的复仇者——找到了庇护所，却没找到女儿。取而代之的是世界毁灭者Alabaster Tenring，他带着一个请求而来。但若Essun依其所求，便将彻底注定Stillness的命运……

虽然我非常喜欢硬科幻，但我今年最喜欢的还是 N.K. Jemisin 的“破碎的地球”三部曲（《第五季》、《方尖碑之门》和《巨石穹苍》）。
Although I very much like hard sci-fi, my favorite this year was the "Broken Earth" trilogy (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky) from N.K. Jemisin.
……只在乎代码，而真正的读者在乎文字。把作者名字隐去，你并不总能一眼看出是谁写的。Jemisin 连续两届拿下雨果奖，我当时稍微有点惊讶。我挺喜欢《方尖碑之门》，也很想看第三部，但那个候选名单上还有其他佳作啊——Becky Chambers 让我乐得前所未有地开心。话虽如此，同一个人梅开二度，难道不证明了……
…simply care about code and true readers care about words. Take the authors name away and it is not always obvious who wrote. I was a bit surprised that Jemisin got her second Hugo in a row. I liked the Obelisk Gate, eager for the third one but then there are other great ones on that shortlist - Becky Chambers made me chuckle more than I can remember. Still two in a row for the same person isn't that proof for a…
……《辅脑正义》（Ancillary Justice）-《辅脑之剑》（Ancillary Sword）-《辅脑仁慈》（Ancillary Mercy）--- N.K. Jemisin 的《破碎的地球》（地球真的很恨人类，但有些人拥有控制地震的能力）-《第五季》（The Fifth Season）-《方尖碑之门》（The Obelisk Gate）-《巨石穹苍》（The Stone Sky）
…Ancillary Justice - Ancillary Sword - Ancillary Mercy --- Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin (Earth really hates humans, but some people have the power to control the earthquakes) - The Fifth Season - The Obelisk Gate - The Stone Sky

难道 orogene / rogga 这两个词没让你产生任何显而易见的联想吗？不过你要是仔细看，还有更多隐喻。我直接引用该系列第二本书《方尖碑之门》里的一段话吧：“为了长久生存这一显而易见的利益，我们的立场与静地的物理完整性完全捆绑在一起。这片土地的维系尤为依赖地震学意义上的平衡，……
So orogene/rogga didn't give you any obvious word associations? There's more if you look closely, though. Let me quote something straight from the second book in the series, "The Obelisk Gate": "Our position is thoroughly identified with the physical integrity of the Stillness — for the obvious interest of long-term survival. Maintenance of this land is peculiarly dependent upon seismic equilibrium,…
……格外疲软的几年？算是一部还算过得去的奇幻系列，但文笔挺生硬的。看 2017 年的雨果奖，我觉得刘慈欣的《死神永生》比《方尖碑之门》优秀得多，本来应该颁给那本书的。至于 2016 年的雨果奖，决选作品我读了 3 部（《第五季》、《辅脑仁慈》、《七夏娃》），但觉得没有哪本称得上神作……大概只是……
…particularly weak couple of year? It is a moderately decent fantasy series, but the writing is kind of clunky. Looking at the 2017 Hugo, I'd say Cixian Liu's "Death's End" was a much better novel than "The Obelisk Gate", and would have given it to that book. For the 2016 Hugo I've read 3 of the finalist("Fifth Season", "Ancillary Mercy", "Seveneves"), but I don't think any of them were all that great... guess just…
