The Inheritance Trilogy
review 1: This book was so new, and different, refreshing. I loved everything about it.I loved following Yeine and watching her change. I liked the revelation of a slightly unreliable narrator (or even just a mentally disjointed narrator? I feel I got all the information, but just not in the order she remembered them happening). I kept trying to predict what would happen, and I was always pleasantly surprised. The twists were so well thought out.I went through all of the emotions with the Yeine as she felt them. I absolutely loved Sieh and Nahadoth (Oh, Naha!), and I LOVED the tragic story of the Three. N.K.Jemisin gave us so many stories perfectly tangled into one, and I didn't want it to end...So onto The Broken Kingdoms I go!
review 2: I loved this. I'm so glad I move
... mored it up my to-read list. Strong female hero, who shares my distaste for political maneuvering, but still manages to do what she must. She's not perfect, and makes mistakes but they're usually mistakes of empathy and love. She tries to stick up for the repressed from her position of power. The characters, both gods and humans, are varied and flawed. I do admit I had trouble keeping the supporting gods straight, but the people were very distinctive and believable.I reveled in the narration style. The hints and foreshadowing were done brilliantly. I enjoyed the confused narrator having to figure out the best way to tell the story, making sure the relevant information was included at the right times. Maybe it's because that's how I tell stories - disjointed and getting ahead of myself. Except better.I didn't know this was a trilogy until I came to write my review. I'm honestly a little surprised, because I was very pleased with the way everything wrapped up. I'm excited to find out where we go - I'll definitely be reading the next books. less

Dark fantasy novel that made me cringe in more than a few places, but I couldn't put it down. It's a little darker than what I'm used to, but not ridiculously so. It had a unique narrative style, which was confusing and intriguing at the same time. Interesting story, though a bit bizarre and disturbing. Maybe very disturbing and it just hasn't sunk in? The romance element was, interesting? weird? creepy? Not sure, but it was also different from what I'm used to. Anyway, I am looking forward to trying the second book in this trilogy. :)

I enjoyed this book. I wasn't super emotionally invested in it, but it was easy to not put it down. I found the main character likeable, and some of the other principle characters just as much if not more likeable. There was some confusion at first with pieces of the story, but it all became clear further on in the story. Perhaps that could have been done a bit more clearly, while still not giving away the mystery of the story.

This was one of those books that got me reading fantasy as a kid. So good. So, so good.
