Much as I didn't want to say goodbye to the stunning, lush, evocative world that N.K. Jemisin built in this series, I really liked how the trilogy ended. There were parts of this story that were frustrating in terms of character development (Sieh is the MC and narrator, and his aspect is childhood and mischief...so there's deliberate tension in wanting him to be more mature about some things but also knowing that he literally can't be). It's pretty masterfully done, actually. And I really thought the ending was going to go differently- no spoilers, but I was on edge for the last quarter of the book, really. :) Also, this isn't a political book (and it's a fantasy novel, so there's only so much relevance it *could* have), but the whole Arameri/Amn world domination thing felt pretty relevant to me. At least in that I hope reality mirrors fiction a bit. Long story short: do yourself a favor and read this series!
