The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

This was a pretty cool book. It ended up being much more original and definitely more engaging than the back cover description led me to believe. Jemisin is a talented writer, only rarely did exposition feel a bit heavy, and some of the more complicated concepts were partially left to the imagination (which I appreciated, even if it was a bit hard to grasp).

Good writing, good characters, and a solidly original concept made this novel consistently engaging and fun to read. I'll be reading the next two as soon as I can.
