"In the first book of Jemisin's richly detailed Inheritance
trilogy, an outcast heroine must find a way to hold her own amid
the treachery of her grandfather's court. I've got a special place
in my heart for political intrigue, so this book was a delight
through and through!"--Cassandra Clare
"The very best kind of sequel: as lush and evocative and true as
the first, with all the same sense of mystery, giving us the world
and characters we already love, and yet with a new story and a
wonderfully new perspective on the whole dazzling world and
pantheon the author has built."
- Naomi Novik
"This is a book that readers won't be able to put down...A magnificent novel and one of the best books this reviewer has read this year." - Romantic Times (4-1/2 Stars) "Returning fans will especially appreciate certain details, but this novel stands on its own and is worth reading purely for its own strengths." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "...The key is just to tell a great, exciting, engaging story that keeps you turning pages long past your bedtime. And Jemisin has definitely done that here." - io9.com "Jemisin's talent as a storyteller should make her one of the fantasy authors to watch in the coming years." - Library Journal
