The precursor to N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy, this is another fantasy setting fully divorced from Tolkien. For that reason alone, I'm into it.
It features a protagonist who gets entangled with the enslaved gods who are used and abused by the people in power. Hijinks ensue.
||| The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms |||
The first novel in this series didn't capture me as much as I would have hoped but I am planning to read the rest to see how the series evolves.

to read eventually...

"Mortals are the sum of many things, Sieh. They are what circumstance has made them and what they wish to be. If you must hate them, hate them for the latter, not the former. At least they have some say over that part."
The Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisen
The Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. jemisin was not what I expected. Then again I had absolutely no idea what this series was about.
The concept of God's becoming humanities slaves was fascinating and unnervingly realistic in execution.
Jemisin's writing is exquisite; she reads like the next Clive Barker. Her writing, character work, and philosophies on on a whole neither level compared to other writers at this time.
Jemisin's writing is intricately detailed and though provoking.
Each novel is narrated by a different character varies from humans to God's. The writing constantly varies from each narrator but remains consistently beautiful.
The trilogy is incredibly diverse. Many genders, sexuality, and racial backgrounds are included into this sprawling epic.
This trilogy is epic fantasy at its finest. Jemisin brilliantly blended together epic and urban fantasy with highlights of horror.
