In diesem Band erfahren wir endlich auch mehr darüber, wie es zu den Fünftzeiten gekommen ist und lernen Hoa und die anderen Steinesser näher kennen. Spektakulär finde ich, dass es diesmal weniger die Frage ist, ob die Heldinnen die Welt retten können, sondern ob sie, die Opfer eines jahrtausendelangen Genozidversuchs sind, es überhaupt wollen. Ich liebe diese Trilogie 🥰

The Fifth Season was such a unique, well-paced book, it's kinda disappointing that the conclusion to the series felt like a lot of other apocalyptic stories. The writing is still special and I can't deny that Nassun`s chapters contained some heartbreaking moments that almost made me bump the rating up to 4 stars, but in the end I don't think that most of the book will stick with me for very long. There was a new POV that after some getting used to was quite interesting, however there was so little of it in comparison to the whole trilogy that it couldn't become meaningful to me. Essun`s chapters didn't feel that impactful either and the transition from survival story to saving the world didn't work for me. They were still really enjoyable due to the relationship she has built to that gem, but, like I said, not outstanding. Nassun has probably become the most interesting character and all the really good stuff happened in her chapters, but since the series has always been about Essun and her relationships, I wish her part in the finale would have moved me more. Not a perfect ending in my opinion, still very readable with some highlights.
