Their stories are inextricable, yet unique, limned in voices and tones specific and necessary to each character. Three women in three times-youthful Damaya, skillful Syenite, and the older Essun-each face the challenges of the end times of their world. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season, the Hugo Award-winning, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-nominated tour de force of language, incident, and, most of all, of people. Extraordinary worlds, extraordinary endings, witnessed by extraordinary characters. ![]()
