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

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

4.0

Read for a grad school class; not generally my kind of thing but a really interesting concept that's impressively told. I was completely immersed by the end and felt totally invested in the characters' stories. I can definitely see why Jemisin is an exciting writer for the fantasy genre.
