Review: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms


The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (The Inheritance Trilogy, #1)The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I liked the gods, and thought they were very well-imagined. Their characterizations and the mythology were refreshing and novel but very - what's the word I want? Well, it really felt like a workable mythology with depth to it. I also liked the world she created; it seems richly detailed and interesting. However, I could not stop being irritated by the protagonist being such a Mary Sue! I read an excerpt of the second in this trilogy and I'm hoping the protagonist there is less marysueish; I'm looking forward to reading that book.
