A witty book with just the right level of snark. I love the Wil Wharton’s narration, he may be Wesley Crusher to some, but I think his audio book narration is my favorite stuff of his. I love the range he brings to it, how he gets to stretch out and bring the story to life.

Full of interesting details while maintaining a light touch. It's hard to write a decent review. I'm just really happy this book exists.

It's not often a series has a strong beginning, middle and end, but that is the case here.

I don't normally go in for autobiographies (unless it's Gerald Durrell or Roald Dahl), I don't know why, but if there were more like this one, I would. I love Eddie's stand up and I think I love this even more. There is a wonderful sense of comradely and it helps me feel better about myself as a creative person to. A bit like hanging out with a dear friend I didn't know I had.

A dream of the future. A love letter to a city. A love letter to humanity, a love letter to the non-human... and proper love with all the complexities, nuance and willingness to see flaws and love anyway that gives love its texture.

I can't remember the last time a second book in a series felt so strong. I loved 5th Season, I like this even more and am looking forward to book 3.

What a time to listen to this story. It has a gritty hope that can only come with hardship, healing through great pain, profound survival and a vision for the stars. Well characterized, a story that holds you, both narrators do a terrific job.

My only sadness is that Octavia Butler isn't with us anymore, she had more to say and was gone too soon. I wish her books had been in my high school when I was a younger, her work would have been a good friend to me.

You know when you read a book so good you keep turning conversations into an opportunity to talk about the book? That's the Fifth Season. I got bored with fantasy a while ago, but Jemisin keeps doing things in epic fantasy that make me giddy. Seriously giddy. The POV structure, the world building, the way I cannot imagine what will happen next and am so intrigued. Satisfying, enjoyable, do yourself a favor and get this book into you.
