The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
3.0

The world ends again. In one day, three terrible things happen. Essun, who thinks she lives a normal, small town life learns her husband has killed their son and kidnapped their daughter. The empire collapses and many people are murdered to serve a madman’s vengeance. Also, the land is dying. What else is going to go wrong?
I felt like the was an unique story and had great characters. I did listen to it on audiobook, but I found my mind wandering a lot and being bored. I wonder if it would have been different if I read this book physically. I do plan to read the next book.
