Ten years later, a new protagonist is more interesting than the last, though she is also girlfriend to the gods. The soft-porn bits were just cheesy enough to be a little annoying and the story still weird enough to be interesting. I enjoyed getting a taste of the city below the palace of the firs...
This book more or less suffered the same as the last book. Only this time with a super controlling love interest that's also a god. Lest to say in the end it is a man that once again has to rush to the rescue of the lead and save her and everyone. The book showed a bit more promise than that, but ul...
I think it was helpful to have some time away from the first book before reading this one. I read The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in under 24 hours in August, that's how much I enjoyed it. Now it's January. This book is told from an entirely different viewpoint character than Book 1, and the time off ...
I am so pressed right now. Just take my tears, Jemisin. I don't know what the hell to feel right now. Too many different emotions... I'm going to have to find something else to do or read to calm myself now.
I will admit to being rather confused reading this book. The fourth chapter starts with "By now you're probably confused." You bet I was. I read the first book back in 2010 and was completely lost as I expected this book to continue the adventures of Yeine and Nahadoth but this one jumps ten years ...
Wow. I did not expect this. While I really liked book one, there were a few things that botherd me. This was pretty close to perfection. Oree is an incredibly compelling narrator, I fell in love with the characters (especially the ones where I least expected it) and the plot took me by surprise seve...
You know how successfully Asimov combined the mystery and scifi genres in the early robot novels? Jemisin has combined mystery with fantasy, and it is awesome. There's a blind artist caught up in the mystery of who is killing the godlings, but it's not at all Wait Until Dark. There's art and meals t...
Oree is blind, but she can see magic. She fled to the city after her father's death, and now makes a living selling trinkets to the pilgrims who flock to worship the new godlings. It has been ten years since Yeine became a goddess, broke the shackles binding the Darklord, and exiled the Bright lor...
This was definitely better than N.K. Jemisin's first outing, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. The writing was better, the characterizations were better, and the plot was better. However, I still felt like there was something missing. First off, Ms. Jemisin does not write romance well. This happened ...
This book builds on the aftermath of the first and shows you what the world becomes after the God's are freed. I think I enjoyed this one even more, because it had more of a human element that the first. It spread out more into the world, gave us a good idea of the people and structure, culture and ...
