Review
"Ah N.K. Jemisin, you can do no wrong...The blend of cultures and lore she draws on to make this very unique world is just stunning, and the fact that she inhabits it with such 3-dimensional characters is even more impressive...If you want to get away from traditional fantasy world-building, but keep the compelling characters and deep lore, definitely pick this up!!"―Felicia Day on The Killing Moon
"Many books are good, some are great, but few are truly important. Add to this last category The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N.K. Jemisin's debut novel...In this reviewer's opinion, this is the must-read fantasy of the year."―Booklist
"Jemisin's engaging debut grabs readers right from the start...a complex, edge-of-your-seat story with plenty of funny, scary, and bittersweet twists."―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
"An offbeat, engaging tale by a talented and original newcomer."―Kirkus on The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
"An astounding debut novel...the world building is solid, the characterization superb, the plot complicated but clear."―RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
"In The Killing Moon, Jemisin displays her usual skill at portraying a world whose contours seem simple at first but which quickly break down into something much more complex and dissonant. The world is so fully fleshed out that I could breathe its spices, while the story and characters are so much a part of the world that you could not pull this story or these people out and plug them into a different setting. Jemisin proves yet again that she is one of the important new writers in the sff scene."―Kate Elliott, author of Cold Fire, on The Killing Moon
"Jemisin...creates a fabulously diverse array of peoples and lands, shot through with magic, loss, sex, and heartbreak."―NPR Books on The Inheritance Trilogy
"An absolutely fascinating read."―RT Book Reviews on The Killing Moon
"A delight for the fantasy reader."―Library Journal (Starred Review) on The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
"The best book I've ever read."―Daveed Diggs of Hamilton

An epic fantasy that kept me amused and interested!
By Shay VanZwoll
Roughly two thousand years ago the Gods' War broke out, killing mortals and godlings in the battle between siblings. In the end, Nahadoth and his closest followers were chained to serve the Arameri, the callous ruling family of Amn. But Nahadoth has never forgiven his brother, Bright Itempas, for killing their sister and enslaving their children.
Into the world Yeine steps, adopted by the Arameri and the unknown keeper of a powerful secret. The Inheritance Trilogy (and the included short story in the omnibus) span over 400 years as we watch gods and godlings die and be born, mortal cities fall, and see the fate of the universe change.
I love epic fantasy and I would certainly place this series in that category. The scope of the world that the author has created is amazing, and I love being able to look back at the earlier books to see foreshadowing of what is to come... And what still might happen.
Rating these books individually, I gave the first two (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms) both 5 stars and thought they were fabulous for different reasons. Book One is a whirlwind of history, scheming, and magic. Book Two happens at a slightly slower pace and gets more into the details between the mortals and godlings, while still sweeping you along on an adventure. The third book, The Kingdom of Gods, starts out almost too slow but ends up being fun and complex, while sharing more of Sieh's life and history. Because I did feel that the pace dragged a little, especially compared to the first two, I can only give it 4 stars.
The final piece of the puzzle, a short story called The Awakened Kingdom, didn't fit the tone of the trilogy... The puzzle edges just weren't a perfect fit. Unfortunately, it felt more like a forced epilogue rather than a real continuation of the universe, so it only earned 3 1/2 stars. It did grow on me more toward the end, and i liked it more than I disliked it, but I wouldn't have missed it if it wasn't there.
Overall, I give The Inheritance Trilogy a slightly shaky 5 stars, with the full novels giving more weight to the rating.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A BOOK THAT EVEN NON SCI-FI FANS WILL ENJOY-SERIOUSLY
By Ditsy Mitzi
If you are familiar with my reviews then you know that I have a serious addiction that can't be cured by any drug or therapy. My addiction is books, books, books. I may be down to my last few dollars but if I walk into a store especially Barnes Noble, there is a 99.9% chance that I WILL walk out with a newly purchased book. I was at Barnes Noble just waiting for traffic to die down before heading home, my daughter who was impatient to get home, is trying to push me out of the store before I even had a chance to browse (the nerve of her). Now you know that I am not leaving without buying a book. I grab the biggest book in the Sci-Fi section. I had no clue what it was about or if it was even worth (entertainment value) the $20 I paid. It is over 1,400 pages (3 books in 1) so I felt satisfied that I was at least getting my money's worth.
This book is really, really good for a relatively unknown author (compared to Robert Jordan, George R. R. Martin, Karen Miller, Terry Goodkind, etc). Brandon Sanderson, who I consider in a league of his own (he is an evil genius and I love his books) has given this book his endorsement. Here are other reasons to like this book:
1. The author is a woman and has a great sense of humor. You can catch glimpses of it through the characters and then the glossary is laugh out loud hilarious.
2. The world building is quite unlike others I have read about and admired (think of Brandon Sanderson in The Way of Kings). It is full of magic and beautiful buildings and places but unlike other places in other books, it is easy to conjure a picture in my mind of how it looks or at least of how I think it would look if I were watching a movie based on this book. It is a place of sunlight and beauty but where treachery and evil hide in the dark.
3. The heroine is not drop dead gorgeous. That is not to say that she is ugly. She considers herself ordinary but her beauty comes from within.
4. The heroine does not have magic aka super powers but she is the type of person that does what she feels to be right and therein lies her strength and courage.
5. In some fantasy books, you know who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. No so with this book. Once you think you figure out a person, they go and do something to change your perception of them.
6. This story has gods. Well it started with 3 gods but then something happens (I won't tell) and of course the gods have children,,,therefore making more mini gods. When we think of God, we think of love, happiness, joy, truth, wisdom; however, these are not your average gods. They are weapons and you never know if they are good or evil. Makes this story more interesting to follow. Will they help our heroine or will they help her enemies destroy her.
7. On the book itself: Although it is 1,462 pages, the cover is sturdy and so far the spine is untouched. The chapters are not long but neither are they short, just enough to keep the reader wanting to read. Each chapter has a title which let's the reader know where the story is going. Another plus is that the font is not tiny and the spaces between sentence makes it easier for those who have trouble with their vision.
Last but not least, there is a bonus story at the end.
UPDATE AS OF 3/7/15
8. Another thing that I loved about this book that would normally drive me crazy is that the narrator would (or so it seemed) lose her train of thought and start rambling about a totally different subject. As I said, in other books this would drive me nuts but I found that there is always a reason (of course) for going off the subject. Eventually the dots do connect but what I enjoyed about these ramblings (that did not last long, a few pages, if that) is that I gobbled them up so quickly because I wanted to get back to the topic on hand. You will too.
My favorite characters are Yeine (the heroine), Nahadoth (Nightlord) and Sieh. With these three you never know what they are going to do so unlike other books of this genre this adds the element of surprise throughout the book. Oh and did I mention that this author is funny? Oh yes I did but I feel I have to repeat it because it makes this book enjoyable. This author writes about a complicated fantasy world in a simplistic manner not to "dumb" us down but to make this book so easy to read and like. Sometimes, it seems as if the narrator goes off script but stick with it, it all evens out in the end. In a way, the heroine is so like us, her thoughts are all over the place, she doesn't listen, she doesn't follow the rules, she tries to do what is right even if it is not the easy way. Now that is heroine that I can ROOT for.
There are many more reasons to enjoy this book but I don't like it when other reviews give the plot away so I will leave it at this. If you are unsure if you will like this book just go to the nearest book store and read the first couple of chapters. The story is told in the first person by the heroine but this author has a way of writing that makes you understand within the first few chapters what the "major" plot is and where the story is headed. Don't you hate it when you have to read a hundred pages or so of a book in order to get all the characters, places and plot and sub plots straight in your head.

Fantasy Meets Mythology
By Maxine McLister
The Inheritance Trilogy by author N.K. Jemisin contains three books or, to be more accurate, three books and a novella: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Broken Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Gods, as well as the bonus novella The Awakened Kingdom. The three books contain many of the same characters and, with the exception of the first, could not easily be read as standalones. And, yet, despite this fact, they all feel like self-contained stories. Although they are interconnected by place, characters, and the events of the first book, the tales occur several years apart and under very different circumstances and all storylines are pretty much complete within each novel.
The books all tend to be character driven. Each is told in the first person by a character who, for some reason, is a kind of fish out of water up against circumstances that could prove deadly for them. In the first, the protagonist is a female warrior from a primitive backwater who finds herself in a dangerous competition for the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and, unfortunately, she is the only one who doesn't know the rules; in the second, the protagonist is a blind artist who can `see' magic and finds herself a suspect in the murders of godlings; in the third, Sieh, the godling of childhood also known as a trickster suddenly begins to lose his godhood after befriending two mortal children and is suddenly faced with the possibility of mortality; the novella is told by a newly born godling who is struggling to find his/her place and purpose in a very confusing world.
Normally, my preference in fantasy is for the gritty realism of authors like Erikson and GRR Martin and this is definitely not that so I was surprised how much I enjoyed all of the books. There is some action but it tends to be minimal and much of it occurs off-stage so-to-speak. There is some great world-building although a hundred thousand kingdoms is a bit of an exaggeration. The characters are very well-drawn and mostly likable. There is also some romance but, fortunately, it never subverts the tale. And there is also subtle humour which I always appreciate.
In many ways, these books seemed more like mythology than epic fantasy with flawed gods and godlings who resemble humans emotionally as well as frequently physically, an origin as well as a creation story, and a kind of love/hate/curiousity relationship between mortals and gods.
I did like the first two books better than the third but it was still worth the read. I found the novella a bit of a departure from the rest but it was still enjoyable. My recommendation: The Inheritance Trilogy is a great choice for fans of the fantasy genre who are looking for something a little bit different, especially if they like stories about gods often behaving badly.
