The two become unexpected allies when a conspiracy against godlings disrupts the order of the city, and a journey of dangerous intrigue ensues. Set ten years after the ending of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Broken Kingdoms features a mostly new cast of characters, mainly Oree, a blind artist living in a city beneath the World Tree, and Bright Itempas. I'm giving the same four stars to this book, although it didn't speak to me nearly as much-in fact, not even as much as The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, which I only rated 3. I gave four stars to The Killing Moon, although it is now one of my personal classics.

Jemisin's books tend to make me feel that numeric ratings are pointless.
