Book Review: The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
The Fifth Season is one of those books that’s been in the back of my mind for years. I’ve only ever seen good things about it, but it never reached the top of my to-read list. When I saw it was available immediately at my library, I took it as a sign that I needed… Read more
