The Inheritance Trilogy: THE HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS, THE BROKEN KINGDOMS, and THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS.
[New York]: Orbit, [2010-2011], Octavo, 3 volumes, boards. First hardcover editions (issued by the SFBC). These are the author's first books. A dynastic fantasy trilogy with world and myth building. Of the first book Kirkus Reviews (12/15/2009) writes, "Debut fantasy features an intriguing, well-drawn mythology...Jemisin’s world-building and attention to detail raise this story to another level. In the novel’s complex but well-defined universe, a war between the gods took place in the distant past. The losing divinities were punished severely and forced to become the slaves of mortal humans. Yeine’s life becomes increasingly entangled with these subjugated gods as she navigates royal politics and tries to uncover the truth about her family history. Jemisin lavishes considerable care on her fictional universe, but she also creates a subtle, emotionally complex character in the thoughtful Yeine." The first volume won the Locus Award for Best First Novel and was a World Fantasy Award nominee. Fine copies in fine, bright dust jackets (33930). Item #33930
