Unfortunately, when you’re the Nightlord and are infamous for destroying an entire continent and most of its people, paternal anger takes on a whole new light.Īnd so an ultimatum is delivered: find the murderer or the Nightlord will come to Shadow. This isn’t good because Nahadoth, the newly reinstated Nightlord, doesn’t take kindly to people murdering his children.
Meanwhile, godlings are being killed all over Shadow.
I imagine people who’ve read the previous book can probably guess who this person is. Even stranger, when the sun rises at dawn, Oree can see him because he… glows. And not in the vampire or zombie sort of way. Now what do I mean by strange? I mean that he has an odd habit of dying and coming back to life. Which is a good thing because one day, she finds a strange man in a garbage heap and takes him home. Suffice it to say, Oree’s used to gods and godlings. Oree’s ex-lover, in fact, was a godling himself. In the decade since the events of Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, godlings have returned to the world. Well, I suppose it’s more accurate to say Oree is blind to everything except magic, which she can see. Oree Shoth is a blind artist who lives in the city of Shadow, which rests beneath the city of Sky. I’ll try my best to keep spoilers for the first book to a minimum but as a warning, that’s not always possible. But it is related, and events of the first book set the stage for this one. It’s not a direct sequel the protagonist is not Yeine Darr. The Broken Kingdoms is the second book of the Inheritance Trilogy, of which The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms was the first.
So when it came time for your sophomore effort to be released, I made sure to request a copy. Jemisin / religion 18 CommentsĮarlier this year I read your debut fantasy novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Jia B Reviews blind / Conspiracy / Fantasy Romance / gods / N.K.
