The acclaimed sequel to the bestselling The Fifth Season, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015.
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS, FOR THE LAST TIME.
The season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night.
Essun -- once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever.
Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power - and her choices will break the world.

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is an impressive debut, which revitalizes the trope of empires whose rulers have gods at their fingertips.
io9
N. K. Jemisin has written a fascinating epic fantasy where the stakes are not just the fate of kingdoms but of the world and the universe.
SFRevu
Many books are good, some are great, but few are truly important. Add to this last category The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N. K. Jemisins debut novel In this reviewers opinion, this is the must-read fantasy of the year.

Locus
A compelling page-turner.
The A.V. Club
An absorbing story, an intriguing setting and world mythology, and a likable narrator with a compelling voice. The next book cannot come out soon enough.
fantasybookcafe.com
The Broken Kingdoms expands the universe of the series geographically, historically, magically and in the range of characters, while keeping the same superb prose and gripping narrative that made the first one such a memorable debut.
Fantasy Book Critic
The Kingdom of Gods once again proves Jemisins skill and consistency as a storyteller, but what sets her apart from the crowd is her ability to imagine and describe the mysteries of the universe in language that is at once elegant and profane, and thus, true.
Shelf Awareness
Ah, N. K. Jemisin, you can do no wrong.
Felicia Day
The Killing Moon is a powerhouse and, in general, one hell of a story to read. Jemisin has arrived.
Bookworm Blues
The authors exceptional ability to tell a compelling story and her talent for world-building have assured her place at the forefront of fantasy.
Library Journal (Starred Review)
Jemisin excels at world-building and the inclusion of a diverse mix of characters makes her settings feel even more real and vivid.
RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
The novel also showcases some skillful, original world-building. Like a lucid dreamer, Jemisin takes real-world influences as diverse as ancient Egyptian culture and Freudian/Jungian dream theory and unites them to craft a new world that feels both familiar and entirely new. Its all refreshingly unique.
Slant Magazine
Read this or miss out on one of the best fantasy books of the year so far.
San Francisco Book Review
