book 1 of the Inheritance Trilogy
book 2 - "The Broken Kingdoms"
book 3 - "The Kingdom Of Gods"
Not as good as her Broken Earth trilogy but still a nice read. Lots of little inconsistencies though. Seems she had a cheaper editor??
"A mortal man's strength had limits. he spent himself and slept. He could be a good lover, but even his best skills were only guesswork - for every caress that sent a woman's head into the clouds, he might try ten that brought her back to earth."
Amazing double negation: "Like the good Itempan girl I had never quite been, I nevertheless flinched."
The little sun "En" from Sieh's orrery, who became his companion (and killed for him) and suddenly got referenced in a child's song that had been going around in the books, was a wonderful writing trick. '"Trickster, trickster," he whispered. "Stole the sun for a prank." En pulsed on my breast, pleased to be mentioned.'
