Okay, but for real, I'm not light with my five-star ratings. I've wondered for a while what I would even consider to be five stars because it isn't 'flawlessness' (nothing is) and it isn't 'perfection' (because that doesn't exist) and it can't just be because it made me cry (even if this book did, a lot).
It has to be a uniquely perfect blend of all of these imperfect things, and it has to tell something that matters, and it has to leave me different than before. And it has to have something else, too. An indefinable something, but nonetheless a quality Fifth Season possesses.

as it stands, though, i'm still being shaped by it. holy fuck!!!! what a story!!!! the casual queerness of characters is sooooo beautiful, too, the way there just happens to be a transwoman and a transman and a little queer polycule going on UGH. the prose is masterful and the characters feel so good and so real and the MAGIC SYSTEM. ohh the magic system is so unique. it takes a little to get a hang of it and i do think there are times where the descriptions get a bit too muddled, but in the end it doesn't matter because the rest of the book is so wonderful. 5/5 stars 100/100 forever for the rest of time.
