SUMMARY:The Fifth Season - N. K. Jemisin - 2016 HUGO AWARD WINNER
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.\nA season 
 of endings has begun.\nIt starts with the great red rift across the heart 
 of the world`s sole continent\, spewing ash that blots out the sun.\nIt st
 arts with death\, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.\nIt starts w
 ith betrayal\, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.\nThis is the S
 tillness\, a land long familiar with catastrophe\, where the power of the 
 earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"I
 ntricate and extraordinary." - The New York Times\n\n"[The Fifth Season is
 ] an ambitious book\, with a shifting point of view\, and a protagonist wh
 ose full complexity doesn`t become apparent till toward the end of the nov
 el. ... Jemisin`s work itself is part of a slow but definite change in sci
 -fi and fantasy."- Guardian\n\n"With every new work\, Jemisin`s ability to
  build worlds and break hearts only grows."- Kirkus (starred review)\n\n"B
 rilliant...gorgeous writing and unexpected plot twists."- Washington Post\
 n\n"Astounding... Jemisin maintains a gripping voice and an emotional core
  that not only carries the story through its complicated setting\, but set
 s things up for even more staggering revelations to come."- NPR Books\n\n"
 Jemisin`s graceful prose and gritty setting provide the perfect backdrop f
 or this fascinating tale of determined characters fighting to save a doome
 d world."- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)\n\n"A must-buy...breaks unch
 arted ground."- Library Journal (starred review)\n\n"Jemisin might just be
  the best world builder out there right now.... [She] is a master at what 
 she does."- RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)\n\n"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\n\n"This is an intense\, exciting novel\, where surv
 ival is always on the line\, set in a fascinating\, original and dangerous
  world with an intriguing mystery at the heart of it. I can`t wait to see 
 what happens in the next book!"- Martha Wells\n\n"[A]ngrily\, beautifully 
 apocalyptic."- B&amp\;N.com\n\n"Heartbreaking\, wholly unexpected\, and te
 chnically virtuosic\, The Fifth Season is a tour-de-force. I felt every sh
 ock--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."- Bria
 n Staveley\, author of The Emperor`s Blades
