Here, the narrator is Oree, who like Yeine is an immigrant from the outer kingdoms to the center – but unlike Yeine, who arrived with some privilege, Oree lives not in Sky proper but in Shadow, the surrounding city where the great tree blocks most of the sunlight. In this installment, we switch protagonists, but continue with a first-person narrator who is still just learning about the world in which she lives and what role she plays in it. So, we are continuing in that world in which Yeine becomes a god – or, lives her partner-soul’s god-life. Spoilers from book one – not this book – follow.
(I’ve already begun on book three, The Kingdom of Gods.) Following The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in the Inheritance Trilogy comes The Broken Kingdoms.
