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

5.0

I have no idea what to say… this was a masterpiece.

The world is harrowing and dark, but at moments there are glimpses of joy that shine through. I was taken in from chapter 1. I loved this book. I was hurt by this book. This is NOT a light read so please read TW carefully.

I am immediately starting book 2
