This book has gods and mortals, and ends with a great twist for both.There's more going on in this story than normal. A few of the character names refer more to which body is being referenced than to who that individual is. There's some real philosophical depth, if you care to think about it. Otherw...
Yeine Darr has spent her life preparing to be the ennu of her people. When she is summoned to Sky, the palace of her Arameri grandfather, she finds herself thrown into palace intrigue, politics, and a brewing war between Gods. The author has created a fabulously detailed world and the history to g...
Written in first person, the book deals with the arrival of Yeine in the city and palace that holds the family that rules the world. She is part of that family as well, though as a distant relative she doesn't expect much from her visit. That turns out to be a mistake as she is made heir to her gr...
Now this was an interesting fantasy book. Just amazing world-building. One of the yearly challenges I'm doing requires me to read a "mythic fantasy" book and this felt like the epitome of the genre. Again, it starts with a death. Yeine's mother was the daughter of the ruler of the Arameri clan whi...
I picked it up as it was the BOTM for a group and so are the next two. Story revolves around Yeine, leader of a barbarian tribe. Her life changes when her grandfather (her mother’s father) invites her to be one of the three potential heir to the world’s most powerful kingdom. She finds herself tangl...
I loved this book - the human characters were incredible and very, very real, and the gods felt exactly otherworldly enough to be believable, while still being human enough to be so very sympathetic. Even though I have obviously never experienced anything close to what the characters have and did, I...

Yeine (properly Yeine dau she Kineth tai wer Somem kanna Darr) has been summoned from her the tribal lands of Darr to the airy castle of Sky, the home of the Arameri--first servants of the one true god, Bright Itempas, rulers of the world, masters of the defeated gods. The result is a shock: Yeine'...
I still don't quite know what to say about this book. Objectively I can see how good the writing and the world building are. I can even make a list of characters I liked if not loved, but still, as a whole, the story didn't quite work for me. I liked Yeine, the young narrator and an unexpected Ara...
