The shattering conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with The Fifth Season, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2016, and The Obelisk Gate, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2017.
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.
Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe.
For Nassun, her mothers mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.
Extraordinary. - New York Times on The Fifth Season

Jemisins follow-up to The Fifth Season is exceptional. Those who anxiously awaited this sequel will find the only problem is that the wait must begin again once the last page is turned
Library Journal (starred review)
Stunning, again
Kirkus (starred review)
Compelling, challenging, and utterly gripping
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Beyond the meticulous pacing, the thorough character work, and the staggering ambition and revelations of the narration, Jemisin is telling a story of our present, our failures, our actions in the face of repeated trauma, our responses to the heat and pressure of our times. Her accomplishment in this series is tremendous. It pole-vaults over the expectations I had for what epic fantasy should be and stands in magnificent testimony to what it could be
NPR Books
How can something as large and complex exist in [Jemisins] head, and how does she manage to tell it to me so beautifully? I cant stand how much I love the Broken Earth trilogy so far
B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
Intricate and extraordinary
New York Times
Astounding Jemisin maintains a gripping voice and an emotional core that not only carries the story through its complicated setting, but sets things up for even more staggering revelations to come
NPR Books

RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
A delight for the fantasy reader
Library Journal (starred review)
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
BookPage
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
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

Table of Contents
To those whove survived: Breathe. Thats it. Once more. Good. Youre good. Even if youre not, youre alive. That is a victory.
T ime grows short, my love. Lets end with the beginning of the world, shall we? Yes. We shall.
Its strange, though. My memories are like insects fossilized in amber. They are rarely intact, these frozen, long-lost lives. Usually theres just a leg, some wing-scales, a bit of lower thorax a whole that can only be inferred from fragments, and everything blurred together through jagged, dirty cracks. When I narrow my gaze and squint into memory, I see faces and events that should hold meaning for me, and they do, but they dont. The person who witnessed these things firsthand is me, and yet not.
