Review "The Fifth Season is a powerful, epic novel of discovery, pain, and heartbreak.... It is a novel that demands much of its readers; it rewards them aplenty and is one of those novels that becomes more powerful after deep consideration and subsequent readings."--SFF World "[The Fifth Season is] an ambitious book, with a shifting point of view, and a protagonist whose full complexity doesnt become apparent till toward the end of the novel. ... Jemisins work itself is part of a slow but definite change in sci-fi and fantasy."--Guardian"[A]ngrily, beautifully apocalyptic."--B&N.com"A must-buy...breaks uncharted ground."--Library Journal (starred review)"Astounding... Jemisin maintains a gripping voice and an emotional core that not only carries the story through its complicated setting, but sets things up for even more staggering revelations to come."--NPR Books"Brilliant...gorgeous writing and unexpected plot twists."--Washington Post"Heartbreaking, wholly unexpected, and technically virtuosic, The Fifth Season is a tour-de-force. I felt every shock--and the book is packed with them--in my marrow. Its no exaggeration to say that Jemisin expands the range of what great fantasy can be."--Brian Staveley, author of The Emperors Blades"Intricate and extraordinary."--The New York Times"Jemisin is now a pillar of speculative fiction, breathtakingly imaginative and narratively bold."--Entertainment Weekly"Jemisin might just be the best world builder out there right now....
