This is such a glowing review. I think I'll check it out.
Sure. Let me reiterate that you're thrown right in and there's no exposition dump, no explanation of terms or of the world or that kind of thing, to guide you into the opening beats.
I didn't appreciate this at first, but in hindsight it's a clever way of making the reader think like one of the world's denizens. But it's a hard hurdle to cross. Good luck.
Oh, to possibly save you a click or two, first book is called The 5th Season.
