If I had to rate this trilogy by how much I liked each book, it would go like this:
1. The Broken Kingdoms
2. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
3. The Kingdom of Gods
However, this does not mean that this is a bad book. Far from it. It was beautifully written, had incredible character depth and development and a great ending. It's just that the plot was kind of all over the place at times. You didn't know which thread to follow or whether there even was a thread, other than Sieh's journey.
I liked this book a lot and will read anything N.K. Jemisin writes in the future.

i think overall this book has the strongest character relationships and development. it was a joy to see plotlines finally come together after the first two books. sieh is the best narrator of the three books, simply because he has so many interesting feelings and and seeing him deal with his emotions is so satisfying. plotwise? i think this book is the weakest in the trilogy. 3.5
