The Fifth Season is told in three perspectives, one of which is written in second-person singular. It surprisingly worked really well. I also liked the reveal of how those three perspectives are interconnected. Personally, my main issue with the novel was the direction of the plot. Basically, this first installment allows you to know the main protagonists and a little bit of the world. However, the book's goal is to indicate you the premise of the next book. As such, the impression that stays with me is that this is a prelude to the main story/action that will happen in book 2.
