I just started reading NK Jemisin's "The Fifth Season". I am only about ¼ into it and let me tell you. It's been a while since I have actively hated a character, but I hate^ Schaffa.
^ I don't like "hating" a person—even if they are fictional. It doesn't mean I won't because there are some individuals specifically for which I wish Hell existed. I want to keep that emotion in-check.

Playing catch up.
This one has been lingering in the recesses of mind for a minute, I think I told @thecisco about this almost a year ago now. Recursion doesn't pop up too much in this game, so I cooked up a keyword for it (I just love doing that!)
Jo Mullein is a new type of Lantern, with a ring that doesn't require a power battery to recharge, but it's output isn't quite as strong as the standard ring. I felt this was a perfect fit for an Artifact that keeps her locked and loaded with mid-range Power Cards!
NK Jemisin and Jamal Campbell really killed it on her origin series, Far Sector, crafting a perfect space-bound, murder mystery, set in a repressed society on the brink of revolution. Highly recommended!

I have now fully finished "The Broken Earth Trilogy" by N. K. Jemisin, it is the first trilogy that really got me in the feels. I so want to know what happens next, and I hope that there is a follow up trilogy as I feel that the next era will not be straightforward in this world!
I almost found myself considering some fanfiction writing to further explore some of the relationships, I have never felt that with written fiction before. Very much looking forward to what is next on the horizon for Jemisin.
obviously, also check out N. K. Jemisin's Broken World Triology!

"The alternative is to demand the impossible. It isn't right, they whisper, weep, shout; what has been done to them is not right. They are not inferior. They do not deserve it. And so it is the society that must change. There can be peace this way, too, but not before conflict."

"Some accept their fate. Swallow their pride, forget the real truth, embrace the falsehood for all they're worth - because, they decide, they cannot be worth much. If a whole society has dedicated itself to their subjugation, after all, then surely they deserve it? Even if they don't, fighting back is too painful, too impossible. At least this way there is peace, of a sort. Fleetingly."

"None of us got here overnight. There are stages to the process of being betrayed by our society. One is jolted from a place of complacency by the discovery of difference, by hypocrisy, by inexplicable or incongrous ill treatment. What follows is a time of confusion - unlearning what one thought to be the truth. Immersing oneself in the new truth. And then a decision must be made."
- N. K. Jemisin: The Stone Sky, p. 311f.
