Review of 'The Fifth Season' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
God damn. I was NOT expecting the number and severity of gut punches this book delivered. Awesomely done.
library binding, 512 pages
Published Jan. 1, 2019 by Turtleback.
A SEASON OF ENDINGS HAS BEGUN.
IT STARTS WITH THE GREAT RED RIFT across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun.
IT STARTS WITH DEATH, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.
IT STARTS WITH BETRAYAL and long-dormant wounds rising up to fester.
This is the Stillness, a land familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.
