Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
While I loved the end of this book & how the story across the trilogy wrapped up, for most of this book I wasn‘t super interested in the story.
That being said, seeing where she started & where she ended up just continues to cement to me the power of Jemisin & her work.

1/10 weeks of chaplain internship done, and I've made a solid dent in this #audiobook on my long commute! It's the perfect audiobook to lose myself in on my drive to and from the hospital. Wonderful world-building and a wonderful installment in the trilogy. So good to finally return to it now after starting it in January! #audiocommute

The last book in this trilogy. First, I was so happy to see Sieh get his own book. Then about halfway through I wasn‘t sure where she was headed and ugh, what if I hate it. Then the finale, I never should have doubted at all. I honestly wasn‘t sure for awhile, but I loved it in the end, and how it brought so many plot lines to their conclusion (even En and Ahad). Jemisin‘s world building is still uniquely unparalleled.

Although the second book is probably my favorite in the series, and Sieh did frustrate me at times as the narrator in this book, I still loved it. 💚

Great conclusion with some twists and turns and plenty more of Jemisin's excellent world building and mythology.

Count me in! 🙋‍♀️ I won't manage 20 hours of reading, but this will inspire me to maybe squeeze in a couple last #AuthorAMonth reads, such as the tagged! Friday I have the last day of an intensive class for seminary, Saturday is my last day with family in NC for a long time, Sunday I'll be traveling all day back to CA, and Monday is my birthday + first day of the spring semester. I'll try to read on the airplanes at least. 😂 #20in4 @Andrew65

A satisfying end to a great series. I really enjoyed this trilogy and look forward to re-reading the series and rejoining these characters and this world. #AuthorAMonth

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yet again, it follows different characters.

This was a slog. The ending was excellent, really wrapped up the series in a big way. And Jemisin is still an autobuy for me! But I didn't love this one, I just never really got into it the way I did with the other two.

I‘ve been hard at work this past week, #audiosewing a formal face mask for a friend. It‘s got some embroidered and beaded elements that make it a lot more time consuming than the everyday ones I usually make, and the covered elastic earpieces she wants gave me a lot of grief today. Still, I like how it‘s coming together.

I finished rereading THE KINGDOM OF GODS while I wrestled with those earpieces. This series is great, y‘all. I love it so.

FINALLY finished this series. These were not quick reads, but they were very much worth it. I really liked the third book and how it tied things together. Hip hip hooray— I finished it!! 9/10

Loved this complex universe that N. K. Jemisin has created. Each book in the trilogy got stronger from the one before. I look forward to her continuing to write more in this series!

I finished my first Jemisin trilogy and now I just need to decide which one of hers will be next. I loved being swept into this fantastical world. I really enjoy her writing. While this was not my favorite of the 3 in this series, it was still great. Sieh is such an amazing character and his relationships with Shahar and Deka as well as Itempas, Naha, and Yiene are so dynamic. So... Broken Earth or The Killing Moon next?

Read the whole trilogy in a very short time and will likely now have a book hangover. I think the first book was my favorite, I didn‘t love the third book nearly so much, though I think it was much more mature and reflective. This series, above all, is about loneliness and finding your people. And realizing m your people are not always who you would expect them to be and are not always deserving of your love, but having hope for them, anyway.

I preferred the first book, but it's still a good read. And I wish there was more surrounding the natures of the Three. Also just give me more Nahadoth.

Finally finished the end of the Inheritance Trilogy. This was not my favorite of the three. The beginning and middle really dragged for me and I just wasn‘t a fan of Sieh and the twins. I still loved the world building and all the godlings and politics. The last half of the book was pretty amazing and conjured an amazing mental picture. I defiantly look forward to reading more of N.K books😊

I liked the first two books of this trilogy better. This one felt disjointed and jumped around a lot... But maybe that feeling reflects my reading pattern. I didn't feel like there was enough time spent with the main characters and I mostly felt perplexed in a bored way instead of in the curious way that Jemisin's writing usually provokes.

Week 4 check in-
This week was not great for my goals because I am on vacation, but I knew that would probably be the case. But I am having tons of fun so I'm not worried 😁 I decided to add a pic of me visiting Meow Wolf in Santa Fe since that's what I was doing instead of working out yesterday.

Goals:
Books - this week 3 ( 23 of 20 overall)
Workouts - 2 of 4

This book is a fun and fitting ending to the Inheritance trilogy 😊 I really enjoyed it

A powerful, heart wrenching conclusion to The Inheritance Trilogy, I absolutely loved this book; Sieh was the perfect narrator. This #fantasy trilogy is truly extraordinary.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting so far. I hope this will eventually tell me what happen to the characters in book two🤞🏾

A disappointing end to this series for me—the synopsis only matches up with like, a third of the plot at most, for one thing. The rest of it felt so slow & confusing. Couldn‘t wrap my head around the whole Gods-love-triangle (square?) thing & felt lost much of the time. Much of the action seemed to take place off screen, so to speak. And honestly, Sieh just grated on me. Still gonna read her other series tho! Have heard it‘s much stronger. 2/5 ⭐️

Litsy, help me out!!! If any of you have this book in paperback with ISBN 978-0-316-04393-9, do the first three pages of the glossary in the back have this writing all over them??? I literally cannot tell if this is meant to be there or not??! Especially because it‘s kinda nasty. If it is part of the book, why is it only on part of the glossary and not all of it? Please someone tell me if your copy has this in it, too!

This book was really great. Jemisin is really great at world building and creates quirky complex characters that are fun to follow. Mortals, demons, godlings and gods all inhabit this apocalyptic tale. I read this book out loud to my partner - it's super long - so I'm glad it was so enjoyable!

My Christmas ham, Lillian, helped me finish our very big book 😂

Some authors write books, Jemisin creates universes. I want to read every word she‘s ever written. The Inheritance Trilogy is great!! Would highly recommend for lovers of epic fantasy❤️

I started reading this one to my partner today. We always have a read-out-loud book on the go. We're really enjoying this series!

I *should* be reading an ARC to get that review done this week, but I‘m so bored with the story. This seems like a much better option. 😏

Maybe after the coffee kicks in I‘ll be motivated to finish the other book.

I wanted Sieh back, but oh, not like this. He was here and yet I missed him. I loved his dysfunctional family of gods, though, and all they dealt with. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

NK Jemisin is a genius, and I‘m so excited to be sitting down with the final installment in this trilogy! (Though I‘m also bummed because this is the last of her published work that I haven‘t read, so I‘ll have to wait eagerly for more from her!)

After thoroughly enjoying books 1 and 2 in the trilogy, this one just bored me to tears. Unlikable characters, not enough action, and way too many pages. It would have been better with 150 pages of MC whining cut out. Nevertheless, Jemisin is masterful and talented in the other books. I will definitely read her again. After I forgive her for this less-than-stellar book.

The trilogy = #theyearofthechunkster

#RiotGrams Day 5: A lot of #Royalty in this Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin. Read all the novels while I was in Munich last year. While I enjoyed the world building, the alternative portrayals of gods, #royalty and mortals - it did not leave as solid an impression as her Broken Earth series, at least for me. But still exquisitely written - wouldn‘t want to be in this woman‘s head for a long time.

Thanks @ScorpioBookDreams for this great idea.

K - Kingdom of Gods by N.K. Jemisin
R - Royal Exile by Fiona McIntosh
I - Immortal Prince by Jennifer Fallon
S - Seventh Gate by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
T - Treason Keep by Jennifer Fallon

I finally finished something! I've been going through a pretty epic slump with moving and general life distractions. I'm hoping I am getting back on track now. This was good but I didn't actually enjoy it as much as the other two (the second was my favorite). I loved he ending and it all came together nicely but I felt like there was a lot of meandering I wasn't as in to.

Can't wait to read her newer series now!

OMG! What is this book?
At First I was Reading way too slowly of compared to the First 2, but I think I was Just a little tired... But after the middle of the story, everything changed!
I absolutely love the ending!

I'm not sure If I read the other 2 top fast, but I'm kind of bored with this one. The story is good, Sieh is one of my favorite, but I'm Reading really slowly...

With some books we need emotional suport, right?

I already read a thousand Pages and there's Still a Lot to read! Halp!😱

I can't wait... Starting book three already 🙄

Started book 3. I wish there was an audiobook although maybe not since this one is from Sieh's POV.

When the protagonist is a troll

Fried oreos on a Sunday night is always a good idea. Glad to be back home in Singapura after a whirlwind visit to Manila for my 25th year Grand Alumni Homecoming. Glad to see that the books we donated are in good hands.

When in Manila, champorado and dilis for breakfast (not in photo: pan de sal and pulang itlog). Now waiting for my flight back home to Singapore. Salamat, Maynila.

While waiting for our 1 am flight to Manila (2 hours and a half from now). Barely even had a chance to unpack from Munich and now flying off to Manila for the weekend to attend our 25th year Grand Alumni Homecoming Reunion. Moroccan mint tea, scone, and a good book. #bookandtea

So it had to take my cousin who has only been staying here for two months (she is one of the theatre actors in the play Boeing Boeing produced by Wild Rice) to introduce us (who have been living here for nine years) to chwee kueh, ostensibly the "comfort food" in Singapura. Super yum. So Tiong Bahru market over hipster coffeman coffeeroasters. Fine. :) #bookandcomfortfood #bookandhawkerstall #booklunch

Clearly, I've missed the traditional Singaporean breakfast while I was away. Kaya toast for the win. Down to my last book in the Inheritance Trilogy. #bookandbreakfast
