The Kingdom of Gods is the third and final book in the Inheritance Trilogy written by N. K. Jemisin. It was published in 2011 and continues the epic fantasy story set in the world of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.

The story follows Sieh, a godling who has appeared as a mischievous child throughout the series. In this book, Sieh takes on a central role as the protagonist. The narrative alternates between two timelines: one set in Sieh’s childhood and another set in the present day.

In the past, Sieh forms a close bond with two mortal children, Shahar and Deka. They spend their days playing games and exploring their world together. However, as they grow older, Sieh realizes that he is different from them. He is an immortal godling while they are mere mortals. This realization leads to a growing sense of isolation and loneliness for Sieh.

In the present day, Sieh is confronted with a mysterious threat to his existence. He discovers that someone is killing gods, which is an unprecedented event in their world. As he investigates these murders, he uncovers a complex web of political intrigue and betrayal that threatens not only his own life but also the stability of the entire realm.

Throughout the book, themes of power, identity, and love are explored. Sieh grapples with his own immortality and what it means to be a god. He also struggles with his feelings for Shahar and Deka, which have evolved into something deeper than friendship.

As Sieh delves deeper into the mystery of the god killings, he uncovers dark secrets about his own origins and the history of his world. He must confront his own inner demons and make difficult choices that will shape the future of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.

The Kingdom of Gods is a richly imagined fantasy novel that combines elements of mythology, politics, and personal growth. It explores complex themes and raises thought-provoking questions about power dynamics, the nature of divinity, and the consequences of our actions.

Overall, N. K. Jemisin’s The Kingdom of Gods is a captivating conclusion to the Inheritance Trilogy. It offers a satisfying resolution to the overarching story while delving deep into the character of Sieh and the world in which he resides.

For 2000 years, the Arameri clan ruled the world by enslaving the very gods who created mankind. Now the gods are free and Arameri’s ruthless grip is slipping. However, they are all that stands between peace and unending war, which spans the world.

Shahar, the last descendant of the family, must choose his allegiance. She longs to trust Sieh, the god she loves. However, her duty as the heir to Arameri is to protect her family’s interests, even if that means using and destroying those she cares about.

As long-suppressed rage and terrible new spells ravage the world, Maelstrom – which even the gods fear – is summoned. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and divine, lover and enemy. Will they be able to fight together against the chaos that threatens the kingdom of the gods?

The Heirs trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms, and ends in The Kingdom of Gods.

This is one of the best series I’ve ever read (fan of Game of Thrones and Outlander)! I ate these books up, one after the other and don’t know what I will do now… read them again?! The world Jemisin creates is beautiful and rich, and although it takes a few chapters to get the details straight in my mind, after that I can’t get enough of her imagined universe, the characters and the story. So intricately woven – a masterpiece I will certainly recommend!!
