It was okay enough to finish it I guess. But overall kinda meh. Felt too YA for me. Young girl, ancient gods, bla-bla, one of them has a crush on her, she has to die because tradition or something, there's a yikes sex scene, she dies, boom she's a god now too. 
Still thinking if I want to continue with the series.

A little disappointed with the ending. It also describes a much bigger world, but the setting for the story is very small. Perhaps the remaining books in the series will explore that further. Wanted to love it, but it fell a bit flat for me.

Although N.K. Jemison’s Broken Earth trilogy is one of my all time favorite series, I didn’t resonate strongly with this book. It is one of her first books, so perhaps it is simply that she has grown so much as an author since, but I found the characters less complex in The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, the plot confusing, and the setting merely satisfactory. I can’t recommend this book as more than just a mildly entertaining read, but I do highly recommend Jemison’s later works- in particular: The Fifth Season.

This was a delightful read. A bit slow moving in the beginning, but once it got going, wow.
