“Change is a slow flower to bloom. Most of us will not see its full radiance. We plant it not for ourselves, but for future generations. But it is worth tending to. Oh, it is so terribly worth tending to.”
The conclusion to RJB’s Divine Cities trilogy made me so happy — even though it started off with tears. Tears for the end of the series and also tears for Shara’s death.
City of Miracles felt very different than its prequels. City of Stairs and City of Blades both revolved more around their central mysteries with wider Divine plots encircling them. This time, we solved the mystery fairly quickly but it led to a much more fantastical plot that felt just in time. Ever since City of Stairs, I’ve been craving a heavy dose of the Divine and I think we got that in this book. Additionally, it was carefully tied to Sigrud’s trauma around Signe’s death and his own murderous rampage of the Saypuri operatives at the end of City of Blades. It was just so good.
I loved this book and this series so much. Am I sad it’s over? Of course. But am I also secretly hoping RJB will surface one day with novellas or additional books in this world? Of course!! I am dying for a prequel novel around the battle between the Kaj and the Divinities. So please, RJB… please write it.
