Overview

After her mother's mysterious death, a young woman is summoned to the floating city of Sky in order to claim a royal inheritance she never knew existed in the first book in this award-winning fantasy trilogy from the NYT bestselling author of The Fifth Season.
Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle with cousins she never knew she had. As she fights for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother's death and her family's bloody history.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be when love and hate - and gods and mortals - are bound inseparably together.

  • Watch your back

    Chelsea B. - 7 years ago

    I was unsure of where to start with N. K. Jemisin's novels. I decided to start with her debut. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is a unique read with Jemisin jumping from past to present in a beautifully lyrical voice. The world was complex and many different characters and vocabulary were introduced in this first novel. It was helpful that she provided a glossary of characters and terms towards the back of the book, but you could quickly catch on to the words and characters. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more of Jemisin's works.

  • We can never be gods, after all--but we can become something less than human with frightening ease.

    Samantha C. - 7 years 9 months ago

    A young outcast tries to find her place at the capital city in the sky (literally called Sky, as it is a palace built into the branches of an enormous tree). There are gods, godlings, demons, royals, servants and just plain normal folks all attempting to navigate the court politics and not instigate another catastrophic war. A unique and compelling story that I absolutely could not put down and luckily for those of you who decide to pick this book up, there are two more books in the series (and they are both fantastic as well). I could not have predicted the outcome of any given chapter, let alone the finale to the trilogy. I highly recommend this series to any who love world-building fantasy.
