THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS . . . FOR THE LAST TIME.
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 long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Jemisin brilliantly illustrates the belief that, yes, imaginative world-building is a vital element of fantasy - but also that every character is a world unto herself
Fantasy novels often provide a degree of escapism: a good thing, for any reader who has something worth escaping. Too often, though, that escape comes through a fictional world that erases rather than solves the more complex problems of our own... In Jemisin's work, nature is not unchangeable or inevitable. The Fifth Season invites us to imagine a dismantling of the earth in both the literal and the metaphorical sense, and suggests the possibility of a richer and more fundamental escape
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. It's no exaggeration to say that Jemisin expands the range of what great fantasy can be (Brian Staveley)

A bit of a slog after an interesting start. As an audio book I managed to get through it with it on in the background. But I would have given up in Kindle form.

A Hugo award winner...it now makes me wary of other such winners. A 'worthy' book with a welcome diversity you rarely see in sci-fi/fantasy....but if you take that away, the story is pretty average.

I've definitely been put off from completing the trilogy.

Good world-building but stretched out story

I found the narration a challenge to enjoy. It's often hard to tell who is talking, and I'm left wishing the character voices were stronger. There's a lot of subtlety, and I'm struggling to get that while working out who is talking in any encounter.

I think the book is pretty cool, and I can imagine an anniversary edition being voiced by different actors for the different sections. Until then, this is one of the few books I'd suggest to read rather than listen to.

The narrator wasn't up to the story

Very enjoyable, the pace and flow was fantastic and immersive. I can't wait to download the next instalment.

I went through this in record time! :)

This is an excellent story which is made even better by the fabulous narrator. Can't wait to read book two.

highly recommend

Some interesting ideas here but overall a bit lacklustre. The plot is somehow a bit broad brushed - lots of monumental stuff happens but the details are only hinted at. The characters are rather flat and I found I didn't care about them that much.

Having said that I'm going to listen to the next book in the trilogy!

Original idea, pretty good story
