The Fifth Season

Ep. 43

Y'all it's a good time when a reread is as good as this one was. Or a first read, for that matter. This month we're starting N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy and it's every bit as good as one of us remembered. Do yourself a favor and read it if you haven't.


Next month we'll continue with The Obelisk Gate.
