À propos de cet audio

Long-listed, Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, 2024

Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Erivo narrates Tomi Adeyemi’s long-awaited conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series.

New allies rise.

The Blood Moon nears.

Zélie faces her final enemy.

The king who hunts her heart.

When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.

Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands.

But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

How disappointing

I was a huge fan of the series but started having concerns during the second book. But wow. Good ideas but Terrible execution. So many things left out. This felt rushed. So so rushed. I’m very disappointed but this.

Wow, a great ending to an epic story ❤️

I loved every bit of this series.... the only thing I didn't like about this audiobook is that they changed the narrator. Cynthia Erivo was good, but I think I got used to the narrator of the two previous books, Bahni Turpin.

Other than that, AMAZING JOB on this series. Loved it! 🔥💥🔥

mixed feelings

I want to start this off saying I'm a fan of Adeyemis previous books.

the first two in the series were great and pulled me into a colorful magical world.

this book continued on in that world and expanded it. but it felt kinda flat to me.

the depth and wonder of the first two books felt sparce in this one.

not to say I didn't enjoy it. it's just if the first two books were 9 and 8 out of 10. this is more a low 7 for me.

I dunno. I'm a couple weeks out and still trying to settle on how I feel about the book. it's good of you liked the previous books you'll like this overall.

It took me 7 months to read this

I would start it, fall off and then restart it again. Idk if they tell the narrators to keep a similar tone for each character because I had this issue with the second book’s narration too. I appreciated the African narration for this last book tho; no shade to Bahni because I love her narrations but I hear the same accent from her with African and Caribbean characters and readers from these areas deserve accurate representation. Still Erivo couldn’t draw me in. Where the other books gave us hope and love in between the turmoil, this book felt like constant despair with a brief period of hope at the end. I’m glad I finally finished it but I was over it before I finished.

Cynthia tried, crap manuscript!!!

***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

This book reinforced the belief that closure is overrated. I was so looking forward to Children of Anguish and Anarchy, book 3 in the series. I remember five years ago when I read Children of Blood and Bone for the very first time and felt chills everywhere: the world-building, the beautiful use and placement of allegory. I praised this book and the second book, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, to anyone who appreciated good literature and fantasy novels. Then this happened, literally plastering the drop to whoever cared. Where will I hide 😑😅

The book starts out okay, promising a great adventure, and then she loses the plot literally around Chapter 34. The lack of coherence between chapters is shocking for a third book in a series from a bestselling author. It honestly feels like several people wrote the book and submitted the manuscript without writing the connective parts to create synergy in the storytelling.

The conclusion was very obvious. How did the characters, including the elder seer, present as spiritually blind? There were so many lost opportunities to add layers to Zélie's personality. From the ability to see into the King's past but inability to figure out his personality, what drives him and the obvious blood moon ritual. All those people with the power of foresight and all they saw was a boat, a child soldier(and still no insight), and star-crossed lovers. Like seriously, not just one seer but scores, and still surprise begets them 🤯then them running off together to be sacrificed just after she said, "You and Inan have an important role to play" 🙄, like cooooome oooooooon… tale as old as time.

Also, metal doesn’t quiver. What does Macmillan even do? If I never see the word ‘obsidian,’ it will be too soon. The book had such redundant sentence structuring. At some point, I thought maybe there was more meaning to be derived from constant reference to items in one sentence like ‘obsidian dagger,’ ‘bone axe’—like yeah, it’s a blackity black dagger, we get it. It was literally in the paragraph above and the sentence before that and before that too. This reminded me of the time I had to submit essays with a word count and my trusted thesaurus would help me reach the limit by utilizing, using, employing, applying, exploiting, leveraging, harnessing, operating, deploying, implementing, exercising the use of synonyms: but I guess *obsidian* was the only word we were offered.

How does the king just ‘become a god’ instead of begins his transformation with minimal power only to mangle into a half-human Demogorgon once it’s siphoned? And that death, so expected, but where was this incantation before the senseless deaths and, can we put realistic emotions on Amari regarding her brother choosing to die in that exact moment, all she can focus on is this magical, wondrous kiss that has no storyline. It’s like watching gunslingers in a Western who are worried about their little dead town, and the next thing you know, a spaceship just flies by in stealth mode.

Rewrites are common, this book definitely deserves a revisit.

TLDR: Cry, my beloved money, wasted pennies.
