The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

February 21, 2021 by Bea Pants 2 Comments

  If you are missing the political machinations and betrayals of Game of Thrones and aren’t sure if GRRM is going to finish the last book before he shuffles off his mortal coil, you should definitely check out The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. It has all of that AND it’s a finished series so no waiting for the next installment. This book is the first of a trilogy, plus a novella and a book of short stories. The story follows Yiene, whose mother was the heir […]

Not your typical Mother-Daughter story.

The Obelisk Gate by NK Jemisin

July 16, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

CBR11 Bingo – Award Winner (2017 Hugo Award)   This is the second book in the Broken Earth Triology, and picks up immediately after book one. Basically this entire review will be a spoiler, if you haven’t read the first book… sooo… stop here if you haven’t read them, but want to?). As the disaster that is this Season intensifies, Essun and Hoa (who she has learned is a stone-eater, and not a child at all) have found refuge in a community that is surviving […]

The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin

July 16, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

CBR11 Bingo – And So It Begins   This trilogy has long been on my radar and I picked it up on vacation at the beginning of the month, knowing that I’d have a few interrupted days to really dig my teeth into them. [the bonus I didn’t realize until after the fact: each book satisfies a bingo square requirement; thank you vacation-packing gods] The Fifth Season introduces us to The Stillness, a fictional, futuristic land. It’s a land populated by humans, but some of […]

The Hundred Thousand Meh’s

November 18, 2015 by tillie 1 Comment

This books is called a hundred thousand kingdoms despite the fact that it takes place solely in Yeines head. And not in the intimate epic kind of way. In the “I looked into X’s eyes and I could see why Z loved him” replace X, Z with random God/Godess. Yeine is the ruler of Darr, at 19 years old, when her mother dies, mysteriously. Suddenly Yeine is called upon by her grandfather to be one of the potential heirs to the throne of the Hundred […]
