Just finished The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin.
Pros: Interesting read. It's a fascinating world, with unique characters, and the plot is hard to predict since the plot deviates from the typical tropes. I rarely found myself rolling my eyes at something immature or silly, which I do for a lot of books. The prose is very unique and powerful, including usage of second person perspective in some chapters which is exceptionally rare in literature.
Cons: Action/magic wasn't very clear, so the outcome of conflicts sometimes seemed arbitrary. Some character decisions were frustrating to me or felt unrealistic. I need to read the trilogy now since the first book is not really self-contained on its own to a meaningful degree. But I'm curious enough on how all this turns out that I do want to finish the trilogy now.
