About this book
The first book of the Broken Earth trilogy — a stunning world of catastrophic seasons, oppressed people, and geological power.
What readers are saying
★★★★★
"The second-person narration shouldn't work but it absolutely does. One of the most original fantasy novels I've ever read."
BookWatcher community review
★★★★☆
"Dense and rewarding. Jemisin rewards careful readers with layers of meaning that only become clear later."

Finally started The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin — three chapters in and already completely hooked. The second-person narration is such a bold choice.
