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!
