N.K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth trilogy is being adapted by Sony's TriStar Pictures, with the author herself adapting the books to screen. This comes only three months after the news that Jemisin's The Inheritance trilogy is being adapted for television.
The Broken Earth trilogy is the first series to have every book win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, with Jemisin becoming the first person to win the award three years in a row - yes, this is deserved; yes, the series is THAT GOOD. A description of book one is below:
This is the way the world ends…for the last time. A season of endings has begun. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world’s sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long-dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

please be good please be good please be good
I don't think the description of the first book can do it justice, but it's fantastic and unlike anything I'd ever read before.
