The Stone Sky- Episode 6
Thank you very much to Denise for once again commissioning a voyeur-level episode so that I can yammer on for a half hour longer. because shit just got very very real.
So it turns out that things are in many ways worse than I had suspected, although there's at least the mercy of painlessness. The stone people are kept around to make the propoganda about this other lost civilization seem true, but once they stop fulfilling that purpose they are essentially killed and the city is powered by their bodies. Lord have mercy, no wonder Hoa and Co. have destroyed the fucking place (at least, as far as i guess).
Then we find out that Nassun is likely pregnant, and Essun realizes that Schaffa is gone forever and that keeping him alive would be a selfish cruelty. There's so much happening, I am DYING to know what happens. ONE SECTION LEFT!
