“THE HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS is the provocative and exciting debut novel by a writer whose work I hope to be reading for a long time to come.” – Kate Elliott, author of Shadow Gate
“N.K. Jemisin is a powerhouse and an undeniable force in speculative fiction… You can find the world and character building bona fides that marked Jemisin as a writer to watch in these shining pages.”–Book Riot“In the first book of Jemisin’s richly detailed Inheritance trilogy, an outcast heroine must find a way to hold her own amid the treachery of her grandfather’s court. I’ve got a special place in my heart for political intrigue, so this book was a delight through and through!”–Cassandra Clare“In THE HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS, N.K. Jemisin has created a smart, passionate heroine and an extraordinary world. Marvelous work from a marvelous storyteller!”–Carol Berg, author of Breath and Bone“Many books are good, some are great, but few are truly important.
