Details: (c) 2010 NK Jemisin; Pub Orbit 2010; ISBN 978-0-316-07597-8
Verdict: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is a powerful and original fantasy, well worth the hype.
Reasons for reading it: Everybody's been raving about it recently, and also I've been very impressed bynojojojo's online persona. These two combined to make it seem like a book it was worth buying new rather than waiting for it show up in libraries or charity shops.
How it came into my hands: Pretended I was American so I could buy it from Books On Board.
( detailed review ) My guess is that fans of things like Bujold's Chalion series are about the target audience for this one.
