The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

De: N. K. Jemisin

Narrado por: Casaundra Freeman

In this brilliantly original debut fantasy, a young woman becomes entangled in a power struggle of mythic proportions.

Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian North. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle with cousins she never knew she had. As she fights for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother's death and her family's bloody history.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be when love and hate - and gods and mortals - are bound inseparably together.

"The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is the provocative and exciting debut novel by a writer whose work I hope to be reading for a long time to come." (Kate Elliott, author of Shadow Gate)

A True Storyteller

Another NK Jemisin book that I love. Why? Because she tells a story I can't guess what's next. She picks me up in the beginning of a ?memory?, a tale and I ride all the way with her to the end, loving not only the story but the people in the tale. The narration is perfect. All blends together perfectly.

Family politics, gods, demigods & fickle emotions

Loved the actress' ability to convey male and female voices. Mortals and gods live in a balance with each other.

too much a fantasy novel

As a sci-fi enthusiast I was less impressed by the fantasy nature of this book.

absolutely loved it!

I finished another NK Jemisin series recently and couldn't stop listening. Same went for this book. The story is creative and fascinating and beautiful. Not seeing the words made remembering the characters a bit difficult at the beginning but this kept my attention from start to finish. can't wait for the next one ☺️

Amazing and enticing

You forget the length and hang on every word. Very well designed and narrated

The Narrator is A1

I'll start by commending the Narrator. She was amazing!!! All of her voices were so distinguished. The story was amazing. I will say that it is much easier to understand the story when you are reading it(easier to notice the flashbacks). I definitely recommend this book.

Enjoyable fantasy read

A creatively imagined and articulated world. interesting character journey. Rewarding denoumount and finish. Visual and physical writing.

Jemisin is a brillant fantasy author

After thoroughly enjoying The Broken Earth books, I moved onto this one. Love it and am amazed at it's creative and engaging story

Good listen. Entertaining.

Enjoyable story. Kept my attention all the way through. I listen to books during my work day and this story kept me glued to my ear buds. Last chapter dragged a tiny bit but it does not take away from the excitement. Eager to listen to book 2!

Wonderful to hear new voices in fantasy

I saw an interview of N. K. Jemisin and decided to give their book a try. Was not disappointed.

Interesting world, I cared about the characters, and I binge listened because I wanted to know how it ended.
