After many years and many recommendations I finally read The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms! I first heard about this book during a library program we used to do called "Which Book Next" back in probably 2013/2014. During the program, we library workers would take the last three books library patrons read and enjoyed, and suggest a next read. This book was a very popular choice.

So, I'm so glad to say I finally tackled this one with two trusted buddy reading pals, and it was wonderfully challenging, unexpected, and thought provoking. Yienne is brought in to fight to take the place of the man she finds out is her grandfather. She is also searching for answers about her dead mother while trying to not lose her life. There are gods and intrigue and violence and it was one I appreciated being able to unpack with friends as I read.

And wow, those gods. Especially Nahadoth. Whew, Lord of the Night you make me flush.
