A review by dkai
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
5.0
Pretty much everything you want from high fantasy: intrigue, origin stories, mysteries, relationship drama, plus fun additions you don't see as much in older books like casually queer characters and examination of caste/race.
It starts off like most HF where you're trying to keep names and terms straight for the first quarter, but once you're settled in it it cruises along. I hope the mysteries and setup from this book are handled well in the rest of the trilogy, as it's very promising.
