A review by ronijya
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
4.0
Even after finishing 'The Fifth Season,' I've found myself continuously contemplating not just the story, but also the writing style and the grim world that N.K. Jemisin has crafted. Her approach, which shuns typical exposition dumps, compelled me to re-read parts of the book as my understanding of the world grew and I saw situations and conversations in a new light.
That said, the narrative does require some initial commitment. It wasn't until about 100-150 pages in that I felt captivated by the story. As the story progressed, I became more and more invested, though, and I'm planning on finishing the trilogy.
