The Fifth Season
N.K. Jemisin, 2015
A woman with forbidden power hunts for her missing daughter as a world-killing season begins—and the novel keeps shifting the ground under your feet.
N.K. Jemisin
Jemisin won the Hugo for Best Novel three years running, 2016–2018, for the Broken Earth trilogy—the first author to do so.
Feels like dread, adventure and power.
She doesn't hate him for being powerful. She hates him for being honest.
This is why she hates Alabaster: not because he is more powerful, not even because he is crazy, but because he refuses to allow her any of the polite fictions and unspoken truths that have kept her comfortable, and safe, for years. Books by N.K. Jemisin
