dark emotional tense slow-paced

5.0

I love this series so much, it’s the kind of series I am immediately going to have to go search for fanfic for so I can inhale more content with these incredible characters. It was really fantastic to get more insight into Sieh’s character, I particularly love all his scenes with Itempas, they are truly wonderful and raw and painful. Their relationship is probably my favourite from the whole series, after Yeine/Naha. Brilliant series! 

Content warnings: violence, blood, incest (kind of, among the gods), pedophilia (past, mentioned), child sexual abuse (past, mentioned), rape (past, mentioned), underage sex, suicidal ideation, burning to death

I want to give this 4 stars but can’t because there was way too much incest that weirded me out sm. Like it’s all over and I get that it’s mainly amongst divine beings so they work differently but... NOT THE GOD OF CHILDHOOD SLEEPING WITH HIS PARENTS???? WHY??
This entire series I just want to bonk the author and characters and send them to horny jail. Like I’m concerned with these relationships in each book... 

And

WHAT WAS THAT SCENE WHERE SIAH F*CKS DAKA IN FRONT OF HIS SISTER?  *screams*

Anyway, you will be entertained that’s for sure.

A five star series, my favorite work from N.K. Jemisin so far (that's saying alot), and potentially a favorite series of all time. I didn't realize that these books, while connected by a common core of characters and a general plot, are more companion novels than sequential books in an interconnected series. Usually with series like that, I inevitably fall more in love with one book/story more than the others. Not so here. I am trash for this entire series, and I'm SO glad my mom got me the giant bind-up so I can hop straight into the novella!
