Blind artists, Rogue Gods. and Murder
- - November 1st, 2010
N. K. Jemisin burst onto the scene this year with her much praised novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. For those that didn’t get a chance to read it, it’s now in mass market paperback. And with it, we are also releasing the second book in the Inhertiance Trilogy, The Broken Kingdoms.
It is the story of Oree Shoth, a blind artist who takes home a homeless man she finds in the rubbish heap. This one act of kindness will drag her in a nightmarish conspiracy. I found it to be a fabulous read and I hope you will too.
“The very best kind of sequel: as lush and evocative and true as the first, with all the same sense of mystery, giving us the world and characters we already love, and yet with a new story and a wonderfully new perspective on the whole dazzling world and pantheon the author has built.”
—Naomi Novik
“A decade after the events of March 2010′s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, artist Oree, blind to reality but able to see magic, sells trinkets to tourists in Sky, a city filled with supernatural entities and happenings in a world slowly emerging from doctrinaire authoritarianism.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred)
“Told from Oree’s point of view, the narrative voice is authoritative and original — this is a book that readers won’t be able to put down.”
—Romantic Times
