Who Fears Death door Nnedi Okorafor (electronicmemory)
electronicmemory: Who Fears Death is post-apocalyptic futuristic fantasy and The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms draws from classical sword and sorcery, but both are excellent novels about heroines who have found themselves beset and gifted (or possibly cursed) by powers beyond reckoning, while caught up in a political and supernatural power struggle that spans generations and eventually time itself.… (meer)

First pure fantasy book I've read in---a startlingly long time. Taking me a bit to get back into the conventions, but it's worthwhile.

* * *

Okay, I did like it, but the ending threw me a bit. It was good, readable, interesting, but just didn't quite make the jump from "good" to "great" for me. Possibly my standards are too high. (

Okay, I thought this was gonna be some high-fantasy book with 0 romance… safe to say I was wrong. Most of the time I don’t really like romantasy because the romance takes over and there’s not much fantasy left. But in this book it was absolutely perfectly executed. Now bcs I didn’t expect it I lowkey started blushing at some parts of this book (maybe shouldn’t’ve on the train). I love the lore and the religion and I just love reading about the complex concepts. This book enchanted me and I read it in less than three days, it was amazing. Now, if I remember correctly the next book won’t have Yeine as a main character anymore (which I am actually so sad about because I loved her as a character, also might be wrong, still have to check it out) but I can’t wait to continue and explore more of nk jemisin’s writing (

Wow, love the mythos and the characters. The storyline had me hooked from the first few chapters. One of those, can't put down books. On to the next ones! (

Quick Word: So many people had praised this book that I picked it up wary of disappointment. And yet, I found it a refreshing, original novel with engaging ideas and characters. (
