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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I’ve heard so many good things about Jemisin’s work and was eager to finally read one of her books. Unfortunately, though the premise was intriguing, I just couldn’t get into this book. Of the three perspectives, one was in second person, which I’ve learned this year that I just can’t stand. The other two were in third person and thus easier for me to read, but I still found them rather slow and boring.
