This book was so new, and different, refreshing. I loved everything about it.
I loved following Yeine and watching her change. I liked the revelation of a slightly unreliable narrator (or even just a mentally disjointed narrator? I feel I got all the information, but just not in the order she remembered them happening). I kept trying to predict what would happen, and I was always pleasantly surprised. The twists were so well thought out.
I went through all of the emotions with the Yeine as she felt them. I absolutely loved Sieh and Nahadoth (Oh, Naha!), and I LOVED the tragic story of the Three. N.K.Jemisin gave us so many stories perfectly tangled into one, and I didn't want it to end...So onto The Broken Kingdoms I go!
