Fifth Season by NK Jemisin was my favourite read lst year, and probably the only think I'm getting Nenya to nominate (she's got a supporting from last year).
ETA: Seeing your above comments, I totally take your point, but I think that what it's doing on its own is interesting enough that I don't mind that the arc doesn't finish. A lot of questions aren't answered, but purely on the way that they're brought up, and the structure of the book itself, I'd count it as worthy.
It's REALLY different from 100K Kingdoms, if that's the only Jemisin that you've read.
