I've got out of the habit of commenting here, but since it came up recently, I thought I'd talk about The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, which I finished this morning.
It took a while to get going. The works revealed quite slowly, and one of the viewpoints is second-person, which takes some getting used to, but once it draws you in it is gripping. Unusual, kind of dark, but really deserving of the plaudits.
Next for me is going to be A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, which also has a sequel on this year's Hugo shortlist.
