Reply to comment by ADHD-HDTV in The Fifth Season and first person narrative really threw me off. by apocalypschild

You’re so very correct. Second person.

As for what you say about story: that makes some sort of sense. Using the second person narrative that makes me uncomfortable puts me in her shoes literally. It’s a great story device. Still, just couldn’t muster the interest in the book.

That’s totally the point! I personally loved the series and as a big sci-do/fantasy reader, it’s a must read in the genre for me because the topics and science NK Jemisin brings to the table and extremely well done and strong.

And hey not every book is for everybody no shame!
