  “Many books are good, some are great, but few are truly important. Add to this
  last category _The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms_ , N. K. Jemisin’s debut novel
  …In this reviewer’s opinion, this is the must-read fantasy of the year.”
  
   _Bookpage_
  
  “A complex, edge-of-your-seat story with plenty of funny, scary, and
  bittersweet twists.”
  
   _Publishers Weekly_ (Starred Review)
  
  “The very best kind of sequel: as lush and evocative and true as the first,
  with all the same sense of mystery, giving us the world and characters we
  already love, and yet with a new story and a wonderfully new perspective on
  the whole dazzling world and pantheon the author has built.”
  
  Naomi Novik
  
  “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.”
