A review by amandadevoursbooks
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I finished reading it, and I immediately picked up the sequel. The story itself winds between time periods and different points of view to a sweeping conclusion. The world building is pristine and immersive. It's a new favorite, and I'll probably reread it forever.
