Thanks, #NetGalley and Tomi Adeyemi for the sneak peek into the third Legacy of Orisha book。 If you need me, I'll be here hitting refresh on repeat, waiting for you to offer the rest of the book。 😀 。。。more
Shari,
A nice ending to the trilogy。 It kept me guessing right up to the very last chapter。
Gretal,
Oh boy。 This book was bad, but Amari's gay thoughts were finally recognized and acted on so I guess that's a small win。This trilogy is quite possibly one of the most frustrating ones I've ever read。 Every book feels so disjointed from the others, and it's so weird and sad because I think the first one is pretty universally acknowledged as the best one, with the rest going downhill from there。 There were just way too many new things, plots, worldbuilding, and characters introduced in this finale Oh boy。 This book was bad, but Amari's gay thoughts were finally recognized and acted on so I guess that's a small win。This trilogy is quite possibly one of the most frustrating ones I've ever read。 Every book feels so disjointed from the others, and it's so weird and sad because I think the first one is pretty universally acknowledged as the best one, with the rest going downhill from there。 There were just way too many new things, plots, worldbuilding, and characters introduced in this finale to the trilogy。 Pretty much nothing felt like it logically connected to what was set up in previous books, and as I write this, I'm realizing that certain characters just completely vanished from the story here? Very very bizarre。 If you liked the first book in this trilogy, I'd recommend skipping the rest and saving the souring of that first book, unfortunately。 。。。more

THE COVER IS STUNNING, a loong time coming, but so so happy its here。
Madison Lloyd,
I’m so sad。 I was so so stoked for this finale。 Easily one of my most anticipated。 But it did not deliver。 Zelie’s magic completely changed。 There was a brand new enemy all of a sudden。 And we needed brand new allies to defeat these new enemies。 All these new elements felt ill introduced。 The maji were no longer the centre of this story。 They did not get the true redemption that was owed to them at all。 Which could be on purpose in the light of the story Tomi is really telling。 But it left so mu I’m so sad。 I was so so stoked for this finale。 Easily one of my most anticipated。 But it did not deliver。 Zelie’s magic completely changed。 There was a brand new enemy all of a sudden。 And we needed brand new allies to defeat these new enemies。 All these new elements felt ill introduced。 The maji were no longer the centre of this story。 They did not get the true redemption that was owed to them at all。 Which could be on purpose in the light of the story Tomi is really telling。 But it left so much unresolved。 The end battle was extremely underwhelming。 And very rushed。 Two short chapters from the end we didn’t have a wrap up of anything。 Epilogue wasn’t even a real ending。There are characters I never got closure for。 Not once did I figure out what happened to Roen。 Amari got a new romance after everything we were building prior to this。 It felt like so much got left behind in the years we’ve waited for this story。 This story was still incredible。 But not the story we’ve been building to at all。 。。。more

Claudia Fernández,
i have so much to say。 so much。 until summer 2024! brace yourselves。
Mysky☁️,
This book was so disappointing。 It ruined everything that was built up in 2 books。 Felt completely foreign and unfinished。 Key characters from previous books weren’t even there and we know nothing about what happened to them and it’s brushed away。 A whole new villain is introduce?? Like really?? I’m hoping there’s a secret plan for a book 4 or a new spin off because this was a terrible way to end it。 Ugh。

Lying but anyhooos。Thing is, I don't know what's going on with the release of this book but I just want Tomi to take her time with this one。 Really, there's no rush, think carefully about what you want to do with this story, how you want to end this series。。。。。think really carefully。Because after the traumatic bloodbath that was COVAV, with all the moral depravity and Hitler-esque themes (might I add that for a YA novel these teenagers sure do have a penchant for murder), this final book just ha Lying but anyhooos。Thing is, I don't know what's going on with the release of this book but I just want Tomi to take her time with this one。 Really, there's no rush, think carefully about what you want to do with this story, how you want to end this series。。。。。think really carefully。Because after the traumatic bloodbath that was COVAV, with all the moral depravity and Hitler-esque themes (might I add that for a YA novel these teenagers sure do have a penchant for murder), this final book just has to deliver。I don't know how the second book went so far south, but I am begging you to redeem these characters。 I don't even care for the Amari and Zelie romance anymore (I mean I knew it was never going to happen but you really went all out with book 2 bro), just let these kids heal。 By the gods!*Weeps dramatically and falls at your feet* 。。。more

Sam Trapped in Time,
Hallelujah! We finally get a cover and a synopsis! Miracles do come true it seems。I admit, considering how long it has been since I read book 2, I think I'm going to either do a re-read or a quick glimpse over what happened previously。。。 Hallelujah!
