 ADD TO GOODREADS

 The Fifth Season is set in a world which has suffered frequent, repeated Extinction Level Events for millions of years, and all life (and magic) in this world has adapted to it. Hundreds of years might pass between these events—easy, plentiful years in which great cities rise, and people have the leisure for art and science and rapid advancement—but then, again and again, the cities fall. The world is littered with the detritus of these times of plenty, and this cover hints at them: past ages of decadence, now decaying; stone that endures beneath flaking gilt.

Why Am I Waiting?
Even though I don't really know much about this one yet it still sounds pretty cool. I love books with apocalyptic type themes and this certainly seems to have that. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!! Ooo, I do love the cover though.
