The Fifth Season

N. K. Jemisin is a phenomenal writer, and I've been a fan of her work since reading her debut novel The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Although I didn't love The Fifth Season as much as most of her other books I've read, I thought it was brilliantly done. The writing is amazing, the characters complex, and the world unique. However, it did seem to be setting up the following books in the trilogy and sometimes the pacing was slower than I would have liked so I didn't find it quite as gripping as some of her other novels.
