*Book 1 of The Inheritance Trilogy*
Earlier this year I fell in love with N.K. Jemisin's writing in her Broken Earth Trilogy so I dove into her first trilogy and it doesn't disappoint.
After her mother's sudden death, Yeine is summoned to her grandfather's court in Sky. Yeine goes from leader of her "barbarian" minor kingdom to heir of the Arameri family, the ruling family of all the kingdoms. Yeine learns she's not the only heir, that she's unwillingly competing against her cousins. And then she meets Sieh and the other gods and learns that she's the key to freeing the gods from their enslavement from the Arameri family.
Jemisin is amazing at world building, I can see the palace of Sky, including Sieh's in-between spaces. I love Yeine and Sieh, Nahadoth terrifies me, and the Arameri family as a whole is the most screwed up and power hungry fictional family I've ever read about.
