The Broken Kingdoms

This is the second book in Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy. In The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, the action took place in the palace atop the exceedingly tall World Tree. This book takes place in the shadow of the tree. It follows a blind commoner who can see magic and interacts with godlings. I liked this book a little better than the first. I think it's better written and delves more deeply into the religion and mythology of this world. It's also a murder mystery. The first book was nominated for a ton of awards. This one wasn't, but it should have been.
