I really enjoy what the series does world-building wise with the gods and their natures but really feel this would be better without all the romances. Particularly in this installment it is very uncomfortable because the god is a child god but also one of the oldest gods and lines get blurred in uncomfortable ways. But the way this wrapped up felt very full circle and like a myth in ways. I'd still recommend reading if you want to read all of Jemisin's backlog but her other series are far better.

This book is not a perfect end to the trilogy, and in that sense is it the best suit for this story. This is a series about the folly of gods and humanity and imperfection and mistakes and the beauty of it all—why would it end with a neat little bow? If you’ve gotten this far, you need little persuasion to continue reading, but Jemisin makes it worth your while with a character study that reveals multitudes about this lovely world she’s made.

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!
