A review by konvineo
The Kingdom of Gods by N.K. Jemisin
5.0
I got what I wished for the most in this book, in regards to this series.
A whole book told from Sieh's point of view!
He is such a delightful character, and this book just fleshed him out and brought him to life even more. Weird complicated kinda-sorta child that he is.
Jemisin is possibly my favourite author in terms of creating mythology in her books. It reads like real world religion (if you think in the lines of Norse, Greek etc. mythology). It's pretty incest-y among the gods, as you do. The gods are powerful, but also powerfully flawed which makes them a lot more compelling to read about. A lot more than gods that "do no wrong in their infinite wisdom".
There were some things that happened to Sieh and friends that were a bit confusing, and I didn't really get why it happened. The closest I came to a reason was that Jemisin just sat down and said "Because I said so", which isn't really that good of a reason.
Overall I really, really enjoyed the conclusion of this triology!
