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. \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Season\u003c\/i\u003e 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 * The New York Times *\u003cbr\u003eHeartbreaking, 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","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733699244375,"sku":"9780356508191","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780356508191.jpg?v=1720001286","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fifth-season-9780356508191","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
