I finally read this after reading the first two a few years ago (hides in shame)... I definitely missed a lot of nuance / small details due to not re-reading the prior books I still felt clued in overall and enjoyed finishing the trilogy! I think the first book was strongest for me, but I appreciated the way things wrapped up and it was a very fitting conclusion.

Definitely recommend reading soon after the others so you don't forget too much and lose the richness of how everything all plays together in this finale. In my opinion, the weakest book in the trilogy. The ending made me cry though.

I loved this series. There is such tenderness and understanding in the way Jemisin writes people and relationships.

Same great listening pair as The Fifth Season and The Obelist Gate: the soundtrack to The Empress composed by Johannes Lehniger, Lisa Morgenstern & Sebastian Damerius
