A review by wispwill
The Kingdom of Gods by N.K. Jemisin

2.5

The plot of this final book is so nonsensical and unconnected to any of the themes it seems to be trying to put forward, that I created an entire PowerPoint for my book club to express my pain. It's like a pile of shattered pieces of an actually GOOD book that were glued together, in the wrong order, with chewing gum and pine sap. Why does the
CHILD god end up wanting to have sex with like 4 different people? Including BOTH his mothers? What does him getting older have to do with anything else in the book? Why does Sieh have a traumatic history with his son, if none of that relationship is explored and he just ends up stabbing him? Why does Deka, as a teenager/young adult, have the hots for the CHILD. GOD. WHY DO THE NEW THREE HAVE. REALITY BENDING POWERS??
N.K. you did my book club dirty.
