I'm so stunned. what a book! What a duology! Well done, 4.5 starssss
OMG what a beauty. a stunner. an icon.
Voya Thomas, you will always be famous. WOW!
I'm so stunned. what a book! What a duology! Well done, Liselle Sambury.
This was one long book but it was worth it. My word. In this book, Voya is now a matriarch, the youngest one in her community for centuries, and she has to deal with all that responsibility and command the respect of the people around her. She also has to deal with the consequences of her choices at the end of book 1 while dealing with a new looming threat over the lives of her family and her community.
This book was so well written and the twists spun me. The characters were so alive and their relationships were so alive. It was so layered and so emotional and Voya had to deal with so much internally and externally. My heart ached for her so many times while reading this.
The biggest theme this book explored was family, in so many ways and on so many levels. It wasn't just Voya's family, it was also Luke's family, and the other families in the community. I love that so much! The romance was also SO sweet.
The book was long and at some point, I felt it was dragging and repetitive but in the end it was worth it because there were so many moving pieces and the author was building up to so many jaw-dropping reveals.
I love black girl fantasies so much and this baby was no exception. Voya dealing with so much power, leaning into that power, leaning into her family, and finally learning how to be a leader? My word. I was living!
The audiobook was narrated by one of my faves, Joniece Abbott-Pratt and of course, she delivered.
