Ykka shrugs, but her eyes narrow at the girl. “Someone will probably come looking for you, too, one day.”Dunno where or when it took place; maybe I read it too early, should've read after the last book! At first I thought it was Castrima but didn't seem like it. Anyway the story wasn't that bad!
Interesting stories I like that the fiction all had podcasts versions.
Feral synesthetebitter revenge on her tongueshe sure gets her fill.
Review for the ‘Stone hunger’ by N.K JemisinI found this so terribly boring and void of the life Jemisin typically breathes into her work. I was disappointed.. The 1 star is for the stone eater, I just love them and find everything to do with them interesting. I wish this had been a short story in the stone eaters POV actually
A very enjoyable short story from the Broken Earth world. Takes place a decade or two after the great rivening. Four instead of five stars because I needed MORE! Who was the vinegar man?
I hadn't read a sci-fi/fantasy literary magazine since my teenage years. Damn, that was stupid of me. I really loved the short stories and discovering new authors to check out and it was fun that in this volume there was an author I'd fallen in love with this year, too.... and if I'd been reading these magazines I could have discovered her years ago! (This was published in 2014, so I'm 6 years late) The short stories: The Contemporary Foxwife by Yoon Ha Lee - I had never heard of the traditional...
As with any magazine and short story collection, the contents can be hit or miss, depending on your personal preferences. This issue of Clarkesworld begins with five short stories, some by names I know well, and others, not so much. While I liked some far more than others, what really impressed me was how skilled each of the five authors were in crafting such unique worlds, complete with dialect, cultures, technology and/or magics, within so few words. It just goes to show that less can be a who...
This is about “Stone Hunger” by N.K. JemisinEven though I love her novels, it seems I cannot resonate with her short stories..
Great side story into the now-settled town after The Obelisk Gate.

A story of survival and revenge set in the world of her Broken Earth series.
A fantastic story (no surprise there) set within N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth universe; could easily be read as an introductory story before starting the novels, in between any of the novels, or after completing the trilogy.
I just recently got into short fiction and I'm constantly amazed at how much wonderful speculative fiction is available (for free) on the internet. Clarkesworld seems to consistently be one of the best magazines around, publishing both big name authors and giving new writers a boost up. And many of their stories are available as podcasts as well, a really cool bonus. All of the stories in this issue were very enjoyable, it was a good one.The Contemporary Foxswife by Yoon Ha Lee was very good. Sh...
Interesting short story, but I am now curious when exactly this happened within the chronology of The Broken Earth trilogy. The city was not Castrima so it might happen after The Stone Sky? And there was an occurrence called 'Rivening' being mentioned. I looked for it in both TSS and TOG appendix but could not find any. Somebody enlighten me, please.
3.5 stars Again, masterful in its telling and invigorating. The perspective could be jarring at times but overall so, so good. There was a line specifically which I loved near the end.
Meh, not much in the story. Reading it after the first two books doesn't help, as there's not much new here.
Not one of the best issues, I was really looking forward to the WILLIAM BROWNING SPENCER, but it just didn't do it for me.The YOON HA LEE story was pretty good.
There were two 5-star fiction pieces that I absolutely loved in this issue."The Contemporary Foxwife" by Yoon Ha Lee Another of hers to love. Brilliantly compelling narrative as soon as you get passed a few paragraphs of overdone exposition. This story felt like the beginning of a far greater adventure."Stone Hunger" by N.K. JemisinI read the first paragraph. I stopped to share the paragraph and admit I was afraid to read on for fear of disappointment.I read on. It got *better*.Jemisin excretes
Stone hunger is a nicely written stoy set in the Broken earth, though it takes place after the ending of the series. It's nice to take a small peak at what happened after everything that went down in stone sky. However if you haven'r read the series, the story definitely doesn't stand on its own.
Wow, this was fascinating. A short story that takes place in The Broken Earth universe (a series I honestly can’t get enough of) but the chronology of it is really vague. There are a few hints that this takes place after the main trilogy (or at least after The Obelisk’s Gate) but I’m not really sure of anything and maybe that’s what made this short story so entertaining for me. This can be read without reading any of The Broken Earth books but I think it’s best to read it after you’ve read at le...
