N. K. Jemisin's first book in the fantasy inheritance trilogy is "The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms" and, although I had some difficulty getting into this book at first, once I got into the rhythm of it and began to "get" the fantasy ideas and connections between places and worlds I did enjoy the read and have already started my search for the second book in this trilogy.
This book is Jemisin's debut novel and the heroine is Yeine Darr, granddaughter to a king. However, her mother chose to marry a barbarian from the north and relinquish her claim to the throne. When her mother dies mysteriously and Yeine is summoned to Sky and her grandfather, she finds a world much different than the one she was raised in and has little help in navigating this strange city full of danger and intrigue. When her grandfather names her as one of three possible heirs to the throne, she finds herself in a power struggle for a throne she doesn't care about and perhaps in mortal danger herself.
