“A similar blend of inventiveness, irreverence, and sophistication—along with sensuality—brings vivid life to the setting and other characters: human and otherwise… The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms definitely leaves me wanting more of this delightful new writer.”
—Locus
“A compelling page-turner.”
—The A.V. Club

“The Broken Kingdoms… expands the universe of the series geographically, historically, magically and in the range of characters, while keeping the same superb prose and gripping narrative that made the first one such a memorable debut.”
—Fantasy Book Critic
“The Kingdom of Gods once again proves Jemisin’s skill and consistency as a storyteller, but what sets her apart from the crowd is her ability to imagine and describe the mysteries of the universe in language that is at once elegant and profane, and thus, true.”

—Bookworm Blues
“The author’s exceptional ability to tell a compelling story and her talent for world-building have assured her place at the forefront of fantasy.”
—Library Journal (Starred Review)
“Jemisin excels at world-building and the inclusion of a diverse mix of characters makes her settings feel even more real and vivid.”
—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
“The novel also showcases some skillful, original world-building. Like a lucid dreamer, Jemisin takes real-world influences as diverse as ancient Egyptian culture and Freudian/Jungian dream theory and unites them to craft a new world that feels both familiar and entirely new. It’s all refreshingly unique.”
—Slant Magazine
“Read this or miss out on one of the best fantasy books of the year so far.”
