A review by lisalark
The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

3.0

Oh boy. I wanted to love this. I did love it at first. But then I solved all the mysteries within like the first 100 pages and the main character kept floundering around and became very, very tedious.

I should say I don't do well with long-term victimy and unempowered characters. I just don't. I can't relate to them at all. And that was how the main character - whose name I haven't even retained - felt to me. Le sigh.

I hope the third book is better because I loved the first.
