I found the writing style took some adjustment and, scoffed a little at the start. Glad I kept on as this book was really bloody good and well written. Very unique, can be quite dark, sad, adventurous and kept me on my toes. I smashed this book out in 3-4 days which is very impressive as I usually don’t have much time to read. I definitely recommend this as a great novel to read. Already bought the second and third novels and can’t wait to read them! 

Moving on, there’s a very unique magic (not really the word but, is) system. 

I’m quite a writing snob (poor writing just puts me off immediately) and this book has quality. Pick it up if you haven’t already!

The Fifth Season was a fun read for me, someone trying to branch out into different genres and get back into reading. I found it more gripping in the second half than the first, but this didn't deter me too much from finishing it relatively quickly. I'd recommend this to someone looking to dip their toes into fantasy. The world-building can get a bit dense at points, but not so much that it's difficult to follow. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and found it very entertaining!

This book deserves all of its accolades and hype. N. K. Jemisin has created an amazing story full of outstanding worldbuilding, unique and incredible pov characters, and a plot that had me guessing and glued throughout the entire book. This is probably one of the best books I have read so far this year and it is definitely one of the rare 6🌟 reads.

Incredible and intense. Jemisin writes in a sprawling (yet tightly connected) way, such that every piece feels so purposeful. I've never read a book quite like it.
