N. K. Jemisin
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.

"What a wonderful ending to the series! We follow Sieh very closely through more twists and turns than I expected coming into the last book. He is the heart of this universe, and it was a gift to be so close to him."

"NK Jemisin is officially my favorite author and I never thought I'd ever be able to say that definitively about any author. I first read the Broken Kingdoms (the second book in this series) because I didn't realize it was a trilogy. When I finished it though and discovered in the back of the book that there was more I couldn't have been more excited. I CONSUMED these books. The Inheritance Trilogy (which this is the first book of) is truly my favorite book series- really only rivaled by NK Jemisin's other series! Such vivid world creation. I love the way that every character is so real; so lovable yet so flawed. Could not recommend more highly!<3<3<3"

"4.5 stars, tbh. Maybe 4 if Im comparing to the other books in this trilogy, or if Im rating on what I *wanted* to happen but I couldn’t stop so it gets 5 stars. I had no expectations of this book, as the first two books could have been stand-alone books and had different main characters. This one is written from Sieh, the boy-trickster-god’s point of view. It is sweet, sad, and funny in parts. There is more in-depth description of the true nature of gods and godlings which I guess is the premise here. I just loved all three books, separate or alone."
