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?

Great trilogy

Great book a a a a a a a a a a a a + I love you

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.

Great story, frustrating narration

This was an enjoyable end to a phenomenal series. It kept me engaged throughout, and I found myself caring for many of the characters and rejoicing in their growth.

The one component of this final book that remained a consistent source of annoyance for me was the narration. The pronunciation of many of the names (mainly Yeine, Enefa, Enefada, Kurue, and Viraine, among others) was so dramatically different from the first two books that it became an ongoing source of distraction, so much so that I had to go back to the cover art within Audible to verify that that the same voice actor had narrated all three. I’m not sure why the change occurred, but that lack of continuity soured my listening experience.

Good listen.

This is a solid book but the weakest of the author 's works in my opinion. Only because all her other works are so great.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!

This book was amazing, I love the series and cant for the nxt book !

Such a Wonderful Series

I so thoroughly enjoyed this series. The narrator does an excellent job and the story is superb.

Awesome world

The world that N K creates in her books is just amazing. The trickster truly grew on me in this book. He is my favorite character in this series. For a Godling he truly went through many different emotions like a human in this book. Loved it, even though the ending had me a bit emotional.

Love

I can't think of another author who so perfectly defines what love is. Whether romantic, familial or friendship, she nails it every time. She writes Characters so complex and actualized that you fall in love with them without realizing it. I was so attached to the characters that towards the end of their respective books I was filled with uneasiness and worry. I wanted so badly for that typical happy ending or for their success. But, what the author comes up with is far more moving and superior to anything I could have hoped for.
