The Fifth Season
The Broken Earth, Book 1, WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD
By N. K. Jemisin
Harry Hartog's review
Incredibly unique world-building, with a magic-system based in the science of geology. This novel is intensely clever and full of secrets to be unearthed. Not a light read by any means, but a grand and rewarding one. - Krystal, Harry Hartog Maroochydore
Description
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.
