The Awakened Kingdom

De: N. K. Jemisin

Narrado por: Robin Miles

The long awaited sequel to the Inheritance trilogy - a novella by award-winning author N. K. Jemisin where a godling must struggle to grow in the shadow of her parents.

Some truths must be learned the hard way....

As the first new godling born in thousands of years - and the heir presumptive to Sieh the Trickster - Shill's got big shoes to fill. She's well on her way when she defies her parents and sneaks off to the mortal realm, which is no place for an impressionable young god. In short order she steals a demon's grandchild, gets herself embroiled in a secret underground magical dance competition, and offends her oldest and most powerful sibling.

But for Eino, the young Darren man whom Shill has befriended, the god-child's silly games are serious business. Trapped in an arranged marriage and prohibited from pursuing his dreams, he has had enough. He will choose his own fate, even if he must betray a friend in the process - and Shill might just have to grow up faster than she thinks.

This novella, The Awakened Kingdom, takes place after the events of The Kingdom of Gods and will also be included in both the print and e-book ominbus of the Inheritance Trilogy.

Best Performance I've Ever Heard

This narrator brought Shill to life! 12/10 would recommend. Not as deep of a plot as the others in the series, but fits nicely in with the rest.

Fantastic story

This a fantastic story. Robin Miles is a great narrator. I hope N. K. Jemisin writes more stories in this universe.

Enjoyable

After listening to the whole series, I found this lighthearted and enjoyable. Robin Miles's narration was mostly fantastic. Her performance of the main character being my favorite. My one and only complaint is I wish the story were longer!

ok ok

Very enjoyable!

Great story, and a wonderful performance. Robin Miles brings great life to wonderful writing

so interesting!

I really enjoyed this book and found it very interesting! I love hearing more about this world and the story was a quick and captivating listen. Also the narrator did a spectacular job! I would listen to anything by either the author or the narrator!

amazing

I love this book. It is a very well done short story in the same reality as the hundred thousand kingdoms. I find myself going back to this book again and again and recommend to everyone who likes the other books.

Complex storyline, enjoyed very much!

Similar to the author's other books, this storyline was complex. It's difficult to jump into this world no matter which book you pick up to read first, but once you become familiar with the world in the stories things start to fall into place. I like the length of this story very much. This author tends towards very long and complicated novels. I think you could pick this one up without having read the books that came before it, but you'd lose much of the backstory.

Ah, to be a god

Now what ?? A good question, as the newest god of the thousand kingdoms, who is raised by individuals in the smaller, warmer climate, finds out. Will she, or he do a good job . Breaking the planet isn’t a good start…
