The Fifth Season

I was looking at Hugo Award winners and saw that this was a recent winner and not only that but the second one in the trilogy also won the following year (2017). Well, this one was very engaging. A fascinating world with a dangerous geologic history, full of earthquakes and long periods of harsh living conditions. In this world you have a class of people who, for whatever unknown reason, are born with powers to psychically harness or alter the powers of the earth, whether that is quelling earthquakes or freezing areas around them, etc. Known as orogenes, they are both revered and reviled (mostly the latter). They are not the only strange thing or people in this world. But you should discover it for yourself. I've already bought the second book.
