The Fifth Season

Father Earth is angry...

The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin brings us into a world where people can control the earth and everyone lives in fear of frequent yet unknowable extinction level events. Essun is a normal woman living a normal life which is torn apart on the same day the earth is ripped in two.

Jen and Ellie discuss the world building, concept of self and how peoples fears and beliefs are constructed by the society.

This is the way the world ends, for the last time.
