Best:

My Year of Rest and Relaxation - Ottessa Moshfegh

The Great Alone - Kristin Hannah

Disappointments:

The Fifth Season - NK Jemisin - gimmicky nonsense. I realize I'm in the minority.

Autonomous - Annalee Newitz - This guy falls in love with a robot that is basically being described as in the shape of a refrigerator, among other things. I couldn't get over how stupid it all was.

> The Stone Sky - NK Jemisin - gimmicky nonsense, I can't understand why people keep recommending it.

Did you read this after the first two? It is the third in a series, and IMO not as good as the first one (the second was also less good).

That said, the first was great, one of the best fantasy books I've read in a long time.

Sorry.. my mistake I meant to write The Fifth Season. I probably won't read the rest of the trilogy. I've edited my original post.
I agree about Fifth Season.
