À propos de cet audio

The long awaited sequel to the Inheritance trilogy -- a novella by award winning author N. K. Jemisin where a godling must struggle to grow in the shadow of her parents.

Some truths must be learned the hard way. . .


As the first new godling born in thousands of years -- and the heir presumptive to Sieh the Trickster -- Shill's got big shoes to fill. She's well on her way when she defies her parents and sneaks off to the mortal realm, which is no place for an impressionable young god. In short order she steals a demon's grandchild, gets herself embroiled in a secret underground magical dance competition, and offends her oldest and most powerful sibling.

But for Eino, the young Darren man whom Shill has befriended, the god-child's silly games are serious business. Trapped in an arranged marriage and prohibited from pursuing his dreams, he has had enough. He will choose his own fate, even if he must betray a friend in the process -- and Shill might just have to grow up faster than she thinks.

This novella, The Awakened Kingdom takes place after the events of The Kingdom of Gods and will also be included in both the print and ebook ominbus of The Inheritance Trilogy in 12/14.

This is a lot of chaos to pack into one story, but N.K. Jemisin is a master of craft and made this a memorable story that I finished within a day. The story revolves around a newly created god as she learns about mortals and their worlds, come to terms with their power, and ultimately begin to grow to protect her new friends.

Shill lives up to her legacy as heir of the Trickster god. She is chaos and energy and exploration. She is also hilarious. More often than not, I found myself laughing at her witty one-liners and thought processes.

While the story may be a little hard to follow for some readers (you are inside the head of a god who was *just* born after all), it's nonetheless emotional and powerful, as all of Jemisin's work is. I was constantly rooting for Shill and her new friend Eino.

I also have to commend the audiobook narrator for her impassioned, enthusiastic, and genuinely funny performance.

To wrap up, this is an excellent book for someone who is looking for a powerful piece of fiction or is looking to challenge their skill as a reader. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
