Shades in Shadow: An Inheritance Triptych
Shades in Shadow: An Inheritance Triptych | N. K. Jemisin
10 posts | 17 read | 7 to read
Three brand new short stories by Hugo, Nebula & World Fantasy Award nominated author N.K. Jemisin, set in the world of the Inheritance trilogy. From the shadows of the greater stories, away from the bright light of Sky and wending 'round the sagas of the Arameri, come three quieter tales. A newborn god with an old, old soul struggles to find a reason to live. A powerful demon searches for her father, and answers. And in a prequel to the Inheritance Trilogy, a newly-enslaved Nahadoth forges a dark alliance with a mortal, for survival... and revenge. Return to the world of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in these three interconnected short tales. The Inheritance Trilogy The Hundred Thousand KingdomsThe Broken KingdomsThe Kingdom of Gods The Inheritance Trilogy (omnibus edition) Shades in Shadow: An Inheritance Triptych (e-only short fiction) The Awakened Kingdom (e-only novella) For more from N.

I loved this trio of short stories set in The Inheritance Trilogy world. We get a little of how the Nightlord first dealt with his incarceration, how The Nameless God found his nature, and how Glee tracked down her father. I wouldn‘t recommend reading them until you finish the main trilogy though, spoilers are involved if read before the last book. I will miss this world Jemisin created.

While I enjoyed these short stories that accompany the Inheritance trilogy, I found that the only one I thoroughly enjoyed was the first story. The remaining two were good, but I didn‘t fall in love with them as much. #AuthorAMonth

These are 3 clever interconnected stories that elaborate on themes and characters in the Inheritance trilogy: Glee, Nahadoth, and the God with No Name. Not my go-to genre, but again it‘s all about the names, the language, and the intricacies of Jemisin‘s magical worlds.

These three stories were a delightful addition to the Inheritance universe. N. K. Jemisin is such a skillful world builder. I'd love to keep reading more and more about three characters!

readordierachel Yes! Such a neat world she created. I really enjoyed this one too. 6y

Waited too long to read this - hardly remember who any of the characters are.

Doesn't stand by itself. Stories seemed to have no real point other than tying up loose ends. Recommended if you really liked the series but to be avoided otherwise.

I've reached the end of my journey through this magical world that N.K.Jemisin created in the Inheritance Trilogy. It's a bittersweet end, I want more but she has created more than I could've asked for. The last story in this collection is my fav & had my most vested interest. It's Glee's story, Glee is half mortal, half god, whose story began at the end of Broken Kingdoms (Book #2 - my fav book in the series). This entire series is a must read!

This is the last novella in the Inheritance Trilogy by N.K.Jemisin and I'm both really excited and kind of sad to read it since it'll all be over. But I'm still pretty excited! 😁😁😁
