I'm so tired of teenagers being "the chosen ones" in fiction. please, let a middle-aged woman save the universe! she's seen some shit and dealt with it. she's tired of it all. she doesn't give a fuck. she's angry. she will get this shit done.
@reginasbread You might like N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, The Stone Sky). I should warn that there are also younger heroes, but if you want a story about a middle-aged woman who has seen some shit and is tired, so very very tired, of trying to save the world for people who hate her...
(also, Jemisin's prose is on par with Dylan Thomas, would be the other reason to read it)
Just finished The Broken Earth series from N. K. Jemisin.
Such a blast !
I'm a little bit lazy to said why and how much I loved this reading in english, but, yeah, READ IT people ! It's SO good.
