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

4.0

I liked this a lot but realized as I read it that I prefer sci-fi/fantasy set in a world that feels more connected to my own. The City We Became was my introduction to Jemisin, and it was set in NYC! I absolutely loved how she took the familiar and turned it into something new. This might actually be a better book than that one, and I am excited to read the sequels, but it’s not as much for me as one set in a familiar city.
