Reviews"Stunning and well constructed ... a book that imbues itself with deeper meaning the more it unfolds and reveals itself, and by the end, I saw everything in a new light. I knew Jemisin was talented, being a huge fan of her Inheritance and Dreamblood books, but here she employs heretofore unseen skills."-- Lightspeed on The Fifth Season, "These stories are wonderful. In worlds both invariably cruel and brilliantly imagined, heroism thrives in the margins."-- Nicky Drayden, author of The Prey of Gods, "Powerful and mind-expanding...Jemisin pushes boundaries, experiments with format and theme, and challenges expectations."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
