The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
3.0
3.5 - Damn it. Why did it take me so long to get into this book? Cause that last quarter was bloody epic.
Maybe i wasn't in the right mood, maybe listening to it on audio wasn't the best way to consume this book, i don't know. All i know is i wasn't getting anything out of the first 3/4 of the book... I wasn't feeling much for characters and I couldn't quite find a plot to hang on to.
That all changed by the end though.
It was dark and gritty and punched me in the gut when I clearly wasn't exepcting it to.
The relationship between the characters got super interesting, and I think i started getting interested in the world and its way of existing. Sadly, because i almost don't remember anything from the first 70% of the book, I'm not sure what all of it means but now i feel like looking into it more so i can continue on with the series.
