geopiercet 's review for:

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
5.0
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Holy smokes, this is an incredible book! 

I was intrigued and enthralled from the prologue! The writing, the world-building, the characters and their stories and journeys were breathtaking and heartbreaking! 

I felt deeply for each character. Oh, so deeply!! Jemisin’s writing made them all feel so real and life-like. This is Fantasy, yes, but the character’s struggles, wants and lives are fully relatable and ring true to the current struggles many experience—belonging, family, love, purpose, hopes, happiness!

Highly highly recommend this read.
Now I’ll go on to Book 2!! 

Audiobook is AMAZING! Robin Miles, Narrator, is superb!!!
