Publisher's summary

Shahar and the godling Sieh must face off against the terrible magic threatening to consume their world in the incredible conclusion to the Inheritance Trilogy, from Hugo award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

For two thousand years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free, and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.

Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.

As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom—which even gods fear—is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens?

Includes a never before seen story set in the world of the Inheritance Trilogy.

Riveting

I found this book to be confusing at times and riveting at other times. Great read!

Excellent and unique trilogy

At each end of each book I had thought I knew where this was going, yet each time I found myself pleasantly surprised. Jemisin., as always, writes beautiful and complex characters and relationships and seamlessly weaves them into incredible worlds.

Great story, Rushed end

Honestly, I loved pretty much all of it, however, I wish the end was fleshed out more. while yes, everything was wrapped up, it boiled down to, im out of time so they all lived happily ever after. Ironically speaking considered that's mentioned during the beginning of one of the later chapters. It just felt like that's couple chapters had so much to give, then all of a sudden it was just over.

Phenomenal

This has been a long time coming. Grant it, I own the book but I think NK is my bff in my head and Casaundra really brings the characters to life. If you have doubts...my advice would be to purchase this and find out for yourself. The adventure continues...

Thoroughly enjoyed

I don’t understand the hate this book has received. I enjoyed it immensely, and was grateful to see more of Sia after barely seeing them in the second book. It went far more in depth with the nature of Gods and godlings, which I felt was needed.

We’re there pronunciation guides in the later books?

I loved this book as much as the first two, and I love the reader, but it is very distracting if you listen to these books back to back, she changes the pronunciation of so many of the words and names for this book. I’m not sure if the actual physical book came out with the pronunciation guide and she found out she’s been saying it wrong, or what… Either way, kind of distracting. Still an amazing book though

by By the gawds!!

Yet another fantastic story in the realm of the thousand kingdoms. this one felt a lot different than the other 2 and the depth of this trickster God did not disappoint. the thing about these stories an NK Jemsen work is there is always so much more I want to know about the side characters and the world in general. This is another master work.

Addicted again

I almost cried toward the end. So many emotions during this book and so much unexpected.

I would love to sit down and speak with NK Jeminson about this series. So many questions to ask...
