Notes
- Includes a bundled ~11-page coda, 'Not the End,' as part of this edition, not independently registered (no separate ISBN/market listing).
- From the series record (The Inheritance Trilogy): N.K. Jemisin's debut trilogy (2010-2011), each novel narrated by a different character across different generations (Yeine Darr; Oree Shoth, ~10 years later; Sieh, ~100 years after that). Publication order equals in-story order at the macro level despite the large in-world time jumps between books. Includes a bundled ~11-page coda ('Not the End') within The Kingdom of Gods' own edition, not independently registered since it has no separate ISBN or market listing.
