    Great read

    Though Oree reminded me a lot of Yiene i found the continued progression of book one very enjoyable. I especialy enjoyed the care taken displaying the relationships between the gods/godlings and mortals. Cant wait to continue the journey in book three.

    Great second installment.

    The first book was more about the gods and their power...this was more of a human tale. Power changes and corrupt. Life is about living...taking the good with the bad and most if all learning and having compassion.

    Excelllent book

    It stands on its own as a complete story but it is greatly enhanced by reading the hundred thousand kingdoms first.

    A World Building Experience

    Are you looking for something new and amazing?
    Here is a trilogy, which is really more like one intertwined tale woven through three books. If you have not read the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, I so hight recommend it. You can just pick this book up and read into the tale though.
    Broken Kingdoms brings us into the viewpoint of Oree, a blind but able to see godslight woman who holds her own in the lower part of the city. She brings in a man who she names "Shiny" who is really a fallen God cast back to the Kingdoms. Brining a whole new host of problems into this girls life and yet enabling her to change more, the God is a trial for everyone.
    I cannot say how much I love this book, this series. The author is amazing. She opens up a whole new world written so beautifully, and not written too much that I skip pages. I read the books at least twice to absorb all the story.
    The characters are amazing, their speech, thoughts and feelings are so well portrayed in this book.
    If you want a truly amazing new read, from a new author and a new series, pick of N.K. Jemisin.

    Disappointing

    The characters are stale and rote, the plot is very predictable.

    The second Inheritance fantasy is a terrific tale

    A decade ago in the city of Shadow, the world tree sprung up after an incredible amount of magic was released. Blind artist Oree works in the shade of the world tree by selling junk to tourists visiting the city to see the tree.

    Oree conceals her real talent as a painter from everyone by drawing only inside her home. When she finds a homeless man living inside a muck bin, Oree feels sorry for him. She takes him to her home only to learn what happens to Good Samaritans. A God is murdered in plain sight and anyone who Oree cherishes is harmed forcing the artist to come out of the shadows of her house to defend those she cares about.

    The second Inheritance fantasy is a terrific tale held together by the fascinating Oree who has come a long way in the decade that has passed since the events of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Oree is super as she defends weaker people from bullies in a realm that believes only the strong survive. Although The Broken Kingdoms can stand alone as a deep character driven thriller, fans will want to read its excellent predecessor The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms as a great fantasy opening act but also to see how far the intrepid reclusive blind artist has come to be a champion of the downtrodden as she can see the Distance.
