Both The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate use clever plot twists to reveal that what the reader assumed to be a commonly primitive, far-in-the-past fantasy setting actually exists so far in the future as to contain unfathomably advanced technology (that translates as “magic” to us). In this volume [i.e., Stone Sky], we finally discover the backstory of Hoa, Essun’s Stone Eater ally and narrator of all three volumes. Forty thousand years ago, Hoa was conceived as a “machine” by the futuristic city of Syl Anagist, in order to use the Earth’s power to fuel their technology.
