This book and its series are the best I’ve read in years. If there were ever made into a show, it would be up there with Game of Thrones in popularity.

Quite possibly the best book you’ll ever read.

Jemisin is such a great storyteller. I bought this back in January and it was sitting on the shelf for 3 months before I picked it up. I can’t believe I didn’t read it sooner. This is a book you will not want to put down. She pulls you in from the very beginning. I recommended this book to everyone I know. Get this book!! You won’t regret it.

I am left speechless

This is hands down the best book I have read in years. The authors has created characters who I have fallen in love with. This was a stunning read and has imprinted itself on me greatly.

impeccable

this book and this series will change your life. enjoy

Fifth Season is a masterpiece

This book is both sci-fi/fantasy as well as social justice poetry, all within a story arch that is nonlinear and breathtaking. It assumes what is human, while proving we can never take for granted that others share such beliefs.
