The Awakened Kingdom, by NK Jemisin

I discovered very recently that there is a novella sequel to the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms trilogy! It's from the pov of an extremely young godling and it's very charming, I was charmed. It's fairly lightweight compared to the main trilogy, but it's a fun way to wrap things up and to point to the ways in which that universe is going to be dramatically different after the shake-ups that took place over the last three books. And I liked the pov character Shill a lot!

It's honestly my second-favorite installment after Oree's book! Hurray for stories about normal people :)

(Mostly!)

I think I'd rank it the same way! I like being charmed, and it's not exactly a mode Jemisin often goes for

Oh, I didn't know that existed! Thanks!

glad I could let you know! this book seems like, weirdly little acknowledged, the only reason I knew of it is because I was browsing my library app, and it's too bad because I think it's really great!
