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

dark mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

I definitely liked this book. It's just not my favorite thing so I gave it 3.75 stars. This book is definitely a slow burn. It took me about 200 pages to start to get invested. I now have several questions about the worldbuilding so I am invested enough to continue to read this series. 

I think the worldbuilding was really good and now that we know the background of the main character and established the situation, I feel like the next books will be even better.
