Patrick Miller’s Reviews > The Inheritance Trilogy > Status Update

So I just finished Book 2 of The Inheritance Trilogy, The Broken Kingdoms. I gotta say, I fell in love with this sequel just as much as I did with the first one and now I am considering reading the author's other works. As far as world-building goes, it very loosely defined, but the way she describes the world gives me enough information that I can adequately paint a picture.

So, that sneaking suspicion I had earlier? It came true. And I'm SCREAMING, because she did it in such a way that I didn't see it coming. I thought for sure that the revelation would be more towards the end of the book, but N.K. Jemisin throughs conformity to the wind and introduces it towards what I think is the rising action section of the book. I can't wait to get to the climax of the action.

I didn't think I was going to read it because of the jarring writing style, but I saw that Rick Riordan, one of my favorite authors growing up, read the series and loved it. It wasn't until now that I have a sneaking suspicion that it is written in a way of Yeine recalling her life and events before they are forgotten, in a way that most people tell stories, halting, unorganized, and going into tangents.
