Histoire
They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves.

Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered. There are no teachers, no holidays, friendships are purely strategic and the odds of survival are never equal. Once you’re inside, there are only two ways out: you graduate or you die. El Higgins is uniquely prepared for the school’s many dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions - never mind easily destroy the countless monsters that prowl the school.

Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

Breaks every mold I can think of
I bought this book after reading a review that was mostly complaining about how queer it is, as that's usually a sign that whatever's being reviewed is something I will enjoy greatly. This methkd has yet to fail me.
The Fifth Season is the kind of book you hear about second-hand, or in hypotheticals that leave you going "Wow, I want to read that book."
It plays with structure, tone, and style in ways I've never seen before. The flow and shape of the story shifts and splits and converges in ways that are always surprising, but never absurd or unreasonable.
The world is cool as hell. A fantasy story set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, where sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
It's dark at times, but never needlessly or excessively. The Fifth Season is honest about the ugly things, and about the beautiful things.
The narrator also does a tremendous job of narrating, enhancing and enhanced by the book itself having a narrator, which she brings to life excellently.
I am in love, and I am immediately moving to the next one.

Very original
The book was a bit confusing in the beginning, but as the story unfolded the world the author created unfolded too. It's not a book you can't put down, save the last two chapters, but it's a book you want to keep on reading (or listen to). Aside from world building, N. K. Jemisin's greatest talent is creating believable, diverse and relatable characters that you want to dive into and learn more about.
The only downside is how depressing the story is and I should warn you that it could have triggers for people who have experienced some kind of trauma. It's definitely not one of those feel-good books, but it has something deeper and keeps it real, if one can say such a thing about a fantasy novel.
The narrator did a fantastic job and had a captivating performance. I would prefer the audio version rather than read the book myself.

Unlike anything else
This book fully deserves all its accolades. It's fantasy the likes of which I've never experienced before, with a setting so new and rich and wonderfully realised that I can't stop thinking about it.
And the lush wordlbuiilding of this truly unique fantasy setting sets the stage for genuine characters, genuine drama, and draws from and amplifies real world issues that feel excruciatingly real. It's the best of both worlds, completely alien but utterly human.
I'm used to detailed fantasy settings prioritising plot and worldbuilding over character and theme, but Fifth Season manages them all beautifully as each facet of storytelling flows into the others. It intimately explores its characters' struggles, which often involves larger themes of structural violence, racism and dehumanisation, all informed by the utterly fascinating setting of orogenes and Stone Eaters and obelisks and shakes.
It's pitch perfect fantasy and I cannot recommend it enough.
The performance is also excellent, particularly during dialogue. The different voices and accents of characters all seem fitting and are instantly recognisable, and the tenser moments are executed brilliantly.

Nothing special. Just another book
Narrator's character voices sound mostly the same.. Difficult to always know which of the characters are speaking.
The story is difficult to follow in the beginning since there are many 3rd person references without much context. The story could be better adapted for audio only.
Main character development is... Ok.. I don't feel particularly sad mad or glad at her tho the situations she finds herself in are quite debilitating at times.
The sex is quite explicit and uncultured. The author clearly has a need to express these views. Luckily this can be skipped.
Spoiler alert:
The fact that the 3 storylines converge is probably the biggest surprise but other than that nothing special

the Freshest
Brilliantly pushing the boundaries of contemporary fantasy, N K Jemisin created a truly unique story that simply should not be missed by anyone, let alone lovers of the genre.
The wordlbuilding is fantastic, if somewhat on the nose, and the narrative is a bit predictable, not due to the lack of nuance, but rather to the focused nature of the storytelling.
Known fantasy tropes, such as a school setting or a mentor-szudent dynamic, have been brilliantly subverted to cover a range of heavy themes, such as abuse, trauma and the struggle for self-actualization.
The author's voice is so unique and entrancing, especially through such a talented medium as Robin Miles, that I feel like I have to keep listening on.

Fesselnde Geschichte, Geniale Erzählerin
Ich muss mich hier einfach mal über Robin Miles auslassen.
Bei Hörbüchern erwarte ich zumindest kompetentes Vorlesen. Es hängt unter anderem von dem Stoff des Hörbuchs ab, aber Vorlesen können sollte jeder.
Frau Miles allerdings? Sie liest nicht vor, sie *erzählt* die Geschichte wie es ein Erzähler tut, mit Seufzern und Lauten, welche den Inhalt des Buches in eine Weise vermitteln, der ans Herz geht. Die abgewürgte Stimme der Hauptperson, wie sie von ihrem Leid erzählt, klingt durch den Text und bleibt an einem hängen. Das letzte Mal habe ich so eine fesselnde Erzählung von Rupert Degas gehört. Einfach wunderbar.
Und falls es nicht klar war: die Geschichte und Handlung des Buches ist ebenfalls erstklassig und hat zu recht ihren Hugo bekommen.

what a waste of time
So i made it to almost the end of the book.
What a waste of time!
This whole story is no better than an instance of a fantasy computer game.
In fact i would have bet that it's based on a fantasy game if i wouldn't know better.
There are these different races living on earth just like the different races that you can choose from at the beginning of a game. And each has different abilities of course.
That's just so ordinary.
And then: A magician with ten rings has ten times more power than a magician with only one ring, being able to affect targets in much bigger of a distance and, oh how surprising that is.
Oh look, it's earth-magic, not just magic magic. How impressingly innovative.
Jemisin is actually not a bad writer, so i kept thinking, that this might in fact turn into something special.
Fail.
I will now do, what i usually do, when a book is a waste of time.
I will simply put it away, right before it ends.

There is nothing I liked in this story
After all the good ratings and praise I listened to the audiobook just a little longer than I otherwise might have. At the beginning of chapter 9 I gave up. There is absolutely nothing about this book I can even remotely like. I don't like the narrating style and I cannot connect to any of the characters. The discovery of the node maintainer was the death stab to my goodwill.

Great and unique worldbuilding - interesting story
Apart from the cliffhanger ending, there's not much to complain about. The world and its lore are rich and believable, the characters fleshed out and sympathetic and the narration brings it all to life beautifully.

Surprising, new, convincing fantasy setting
This is the story of three women, each one told in a different style. They live in a strange world where people have strange powers. It took me some time to get drawn in, but as I started to understand, I was fascinated. This is not only a fantasy story. This is also and maybe even more so a social fantasy and stands in line with f.i. the Strugatzkis' works. A strange and interesting read. The speaker does a good job, too. The book is read neither too fast nor too slow. The different personae are well distinguished. I recommend the book strongly.
