About this listen
The debut series from the double Hugo Award-winning N. K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season.
For 2000 years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.
Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.
As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom—which even gods fear—is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens the kingdom of gods?
The Inheritance Trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms and concludes in The Kingdom of Gods.

Good, but doesn't stand up to preceding two books
The third (and final?) book in the Inheritance trilogy changes narrator, who changes the pronunciation of plenty of words, and changes tact in that rather than dealing with a mortal becoming divine, we deal with the divine becoming mortalish, presenting a personal aspect to the overarching final plot of the fall of the hegemonic cast of the Arameri.
(Spoilers follow)
Sieh (the godling of children) is the main character, and through magical nonsense that's never really explained is now mortal because demon magic apparently has diluted now? The metaphysics has become a little wibbly, and the book feels like it doesn't quite know what it wants to be. It was still enjoyable but doesn't stand up to the previous two books and ends in such a way that it possibly opens the possibility for a fourth (or a new series), but also closes off the possibility of a straight sequel.

New narrator changed the pronunciation
The story was great like the rest of the series but the new narrator didn’t bother to listen to the previous books and so pronounced lots of things incorrectly. It really distracted from the book. You get somewhat used to it but it’s still jarring.
If you really enjoyed the last 2 then this is worthwhile, but be ready for some frustration.

Beautifully written
N.K. Jemison is s master of language. The whole of this trilogy is marvelously written, and that alone is reason enough to read it. The world is imaginative and each story is captivating on it's own. Unfortunately the author seems to sometimes get lost in poetic descriptions, at the cost of clarity, plot and story. Overall I don't think this trilogy quite delivered on it's many beautifuly phrased promises. The ending especially felt anticlimactic, considering the grandiose storyline filled with gods, godlings, magic and lingering war. Luckily Jemisin went on to create the utterly perfect Broken Earth trilogy, which IMO is one of the best fantasy books ever written. If

Disappointed
Boring
Read kingdom of the gods as a stand alone book. Yawn. Not a good book . Maybe better if read as a trilogy but kept referring to what had happened in books one and two .
Didn’t work for me
