THE OBELISK GATE

“Jemisin’s 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 [Jemisin’s] head, and how does she manage to tell it to me so beautifully? I can’t stand how much I love the Broken Earth trilogy so far.”

—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

—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. Jemisin’s debut novel … In this reviewer’s 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

“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 Jemisin’s 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

Praise for

THE DREAMBLOOD DUOLOGY

“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 author’s 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. It’s 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

“N. K. Jemisin is playing with the gods again—and it’s just as good as the first time.”
