I'll admit it: I think this book is waaaaaaay overhyped. As accolades and awards continue to fall upon this critical darling I find myself once again in the small camp of people who remain Unimpressed. Look, plenty has been written about this book already so I'll try to make this as succinct as I ca...
It's a very interesting concept but I have to agree with some other reviewers in that the voices weren't very distinct in the different chapters. However it's an interesting tale of an alternative world where the king killed all the magic users in retribution for his family's death and severed the ...
It's taken me almost two days to review this as I finished it in the wee hours of barely February 14th. People have been raving about this book so much, and the description hit on so many things I love, I was dying to read it. An audiobook copy finally became available from the library and I let ...
The Legacy of Orisha, Book 1 I Picked Up This Book Because: I had to read at least one super hyped book of 2018. The Characters: Zélie Adebola: Zane Adebola, Amari, Amari’s brother (I can’t remember his name right now) The Story: Zelie and her crew go on a hell of an adventure to restore magic t...
Audiobook Narration: ExcellentAmazing, beautifully written, full range of emotional highs and lows. The well developed characters, warmed and broke my heart. The story had so much modern truth while delving into fantasy. It is hard not to see and feel the connection to the world around us. I encoura...
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie with...
Really enjoyed this. Sometimes the three main characters were waffly and unreliable and I found it difficult to connect with them but I liked the flow of the story in general. Only one thing bothered me and it may seem petty but I couldnt stop thinking about it. I know it's meant to be fantasy and a...
This book was hyped SO much that my trepidation had trepidation. Yes, the premise had LOADS of potential but it still could have squandered or floundered or other "erds"....BUT when I got to about the halfway mark I let go of the breath I was holding and just enjoyed the ride without over-thinking t...
I don’t know why I did it but I did and I don’t think I will ever do it again. This was my first and instead of calling it a sample, I will call it a teaser because that is exactly how I feel, teased. When I first laid eyes on this novel, I wanted to read it and when I saw the opportunity to read a ...
Wow. This book from beginning to end was fantastic. I had some issues with the book going from Zelie, Amari, and Inan. I thought the chapters showcasing Zelie and Amari's POV were the strongest. Inan's were the weakest to me. I also wish that if we were going to get Inan's POV we would have also got...
