A great fantasy book is "The Fifth Season" by N. K. Jemisin. The whole broken earth trilogy by Jemisin is amazing. Here's to fantasy books!

This is exactly the opposite of what GP wants. N.K. Jemisin does not write page turners. He's looking for compulsive schlock at the Edgar Rice Burroughs end of the spectrum.
“She.”

J. K. Jemisin is a woman (of color). I had no idea, myself, until after I had read The Broken Earth series, and wanted to find out more about the author.

I did enjoy her stuff, but it isn’t what I’d want on my Desert Island list.

You are a "he."

> it isn’t what I’d want on my Desert Island list.

That's what I said.

My apologies, then. I misread the post.

Thanks for the correction.

That IS great, but hardly trashy!
I really enjoyed that series. My mother was a geologist, and it was a fun time.
