8. The Inheritance Trilogy by NK Jemison

On the second one, The Broken Kingdoms. Interesting milieu of gods and humans and frailties in both. When questioned about a lack of of ethics/nobility/knowledge in their action, why they don't do better than a human, by one of the human characters, the god replies, "Does this surprise you? We made you in our image, after all."

NK Jemison is an author who's bloomed in the last five years. Enjoying it.

Also, it amuses me to think of what the Sad/Rabid Puppies faces must have looked like when Jemison, a woman of color, won the Hugo award this year...

And how can you not love an author who puts up a joyous blog post of HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WON A HUGO instead of, "I have the honor of being award a Hugo award"
