A review by tartt
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

4.5

every time when i finish a good book i give it five stars, and then a day or more later i come back and change it to four. but now i keep going back and forth, so let's pretend this is a 4.5. jemisin's story telling Made this book. as well as the way she made an actual intriguing world that wasn't just "we must defeat the big bad evil. why is it evil? because it does evil things. and we are objectively good btw and are destined to save the world because of our goodness and the fact we are 1 in a million trillion." 

now did i truly like any of the main characters THAT much? did i really really? mmm not REALLY. but the narration was great and the world was cool and wow did i just find a book within the fantasy genre that was actually well written? crazy
