Coming to grips with mortality and the fickleness of humanity was heart wrenching. Every time Yeine, Naha, and eventually Tempa came to check on him wrecked me emotionally. Definitely had to take breaks.Graphic: Blood, Death, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic friendship, War, Violence, and Toxic relationship

Experiencing the narrative from Sieh's perspective was exciting, as previously he has only been observed by characters who perceive him as a child - being the God of childhood, he has an image to maintain. But this is a God of childhood who is untold millenia old, and his very nature is threatened as secrets from this long past begin to emerge. What follows is both tragic and gratifying as Sieh comes to grasp the gravity of what it means to grow up.
I would highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who loves fantasy, especially fantasy that revolves around pantheons and magic. Sieh is but one of a cast of many rich and nuanced characters, and his story kept me gripped through to the end.
