The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

5.0

I think that N.J.Jemison is a genious.
This book is simply brilliant.
I have never met such a beautiful writing and such a seamless narration. This author has absolute control over her story and characters. Nothing is left to chance.
Here is a writer who knowns what she is doing.
I can understand why this may not appeal several readers.
This book is effortlessy brutal.There is a strong sense of detachment from the characters.Evil is all around. Heroes are long gone. Life is terrible.
But this book is a work of art and it's so original and shockingly well written.
I use the term shook for a reason.
Everything falls into place perfectly. Everything makes sense and the reader knows what has happened, but he undreastand it only when the author clears the path.
It will leave you emotionally drained and not as a figure of speach.
I am giving it five stars and I don't know If I'm strong enough to pick the next book.
