I absolutely loved this trilogy by N. K. Jemisin and could probably go on and on about how amazing it is to see epic fantasy move beyond the world of medieval Europe into one that is, for lack of a better term, practically post-colonial, not to mention how impressed I am with Jemisin for doing something new with the idea of gods and understanding that to be a God is not to be human, except in the ways in which it is.
In the end, though, I think what impressed me the most about this trilogy was that Jemisin wrote three books from three different characters voices (in first person) and made them all distinct and right for the characters and incredibly expressive. And she didn't pick easy characters either.
So, brava for a trilogy well done!
