The Broken Kingdoms Read Along Part I

[Susan]

Welcome Everyone! this week begins the read along for Book 2 in N. K. Jemisin’s The Inheritance Trilogy. Anyone is welcome to join us and this trilogy lends easily to popping in when you like as each book is a stand alone story set in the same world, a mosaic trilogy I think is the term.

This week we covered the first 96 pages (Prologue – Chapter4) and Grace from Books Without Any Pictures is our host. So make sure to swing by her place to see what everyone thought. http://bookswithoutanypictures.com/20...

Spoilers run free below!

1. What do you think so far of Oree Shoth? Do you like her as much as Yeine?

2. Sky is now referred to by its inhabitants as Shadow, and we get to see the city from the perspective of the commoners rather than the ruling Arameri. What do you think of the book's setting?

3. The gods play a much different role in this book than in "The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms," and spend their time interacting with the people of Sky/Shadow. What do you think of the gods and godlings that we've met thus far? Who are your favorites?

4. Any predictions on who or what could be killing the godlings?

5. For everyone who read the last book, Shiny's identity should be relatively easy to guess, even though it hasn't been explicitly stated yet. Do you think his punishment is suiting, or is it too much? Is there any chance he'll come out of this as a normal person? How do you think Oree will react when she finds out?

Feel free to post any other thoughts that aren't covered in the questions for this section.
