Review of 'Fever season' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Oh gosh is this 4.5 or 5.0? I'm just so reluctant to give 5.0 to books I haven't loved for years.
But I do love it. I love the series. I love it so much that I want to read all of them RIGHT NOW, but the thought of having read them all and not having more to look forward to is intolerable.
It's rare to find a series that does everything as well as this one does: character, plot, setting. All three are vivid and believable and create an immersive experience. I want to live in this world despite all its darkness. And I feel like I'm learning about a very distinctive culture I knew nothing about before. The themes are strong, the insights into human behavior and how we order our societies are sharp. What's not to like?
