The Fifth Season

N.K. Jemisin

DID NOT FINISH

Paused on page 121. Will return to, but reading about the end of the world (even if it's fictional) isn't a good subject for me right now, especially with my state currently experiencing extreme environmental events.
adventurous mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Although I do have some problems with the story (how quickly the police department includes Reacher in the investigation and Roscoe’s lost potential as a standalone character/instant attraction, for example), this book was written in 1997, it was exactly what the author promised in the introduction, and I was entertained throughout the entire story.
