The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
5.0
It’s so much harder to write about books you love as opposed to books you hated or books you liked, and in this instance it’s because the book leaves you in absolute awe. I’m not usually a SFF person and often times there were things that flew over my head, but I trusted the book enough to keep going and for that I’m so grateful because the book unfolded so beautifully. Even when I didn’t understand everything, I’ve built enough trust in the author to know that it’ll all come together.
The journey this book takes you on - throwing you into a world with absolutely no knowledge of anything and carrying you through a story of epic proportions - was a lovely experience. I especially love the way this book plays with your expectations of a novel in regards to time and characters. I don’t want to give too much away, but just know that watching the three point of view characters come together was a masterpiece and was ultimately what made me rate this book so high.
This book’s ability to make me care about people I didn’t know and things I didn’t understand astounds me. I don’t understand myself why I love it so much. but just know it comes highly recommended.
