Summary

Enchantingly read by Cynthia Erivo.

The earth-shattering and magical epic finale to the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy: Children of Anguish and Anarchy by the New York Times-bestselling author Tomi Adeyemi.

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 traffick her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.

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

Loved the new narrator

I really enjoyed the performance of this book by Cynthia Erivo unlike the previous reader. This book was good but I personally didn’t find it as riveting as the other 2. It didn’t feel as complex. I’ve got so many questions like, where’s Roen? What happened to him and will we ever know? Thank you for finishing the trilogy for us. I’m sad it’s come-to an end.

A beautiful finale

Cynthia brought Tomi’s words to life in a brilliant performance. The story is a rollercoaster of emotions and you’re bound to shed a tear or more.

A special collection of stories….

Roll on the movies! What a world! Tomi Adeyemi has created a world that is so easy to submerge yourself into. This last instalment rounded off the story so well. There’s drama, highs, lows, subtle romance… but it’s the perseverance of some of the main characters that really evoke feelings of pride & inspiration whilst reading the book. “Duty before self!” Oh Inan!
Just read the book! You won’t be disappointed.

Great story line

Good ending to the trilogy! The narrator has a beautiful tone that’s super easy to listen to. Would have given 5 stars but the pronunciation of the Yoruba words were really poor.

If you like action packed you’ll love this!

Good to finish the series. It was really good but almost too much action. And it finished a bit quickly. However still really enjoyed it.

Wow, I have waited sooo long for this.

I didn’t see this coming. The path takes us to a totally different place.
The story is so well written by Tomi and read by Cynthia Erivo. Haaaaa best combination. I swear I couldn’t put this book down. I listened when driving, cooking, putting the kids to bed. I mean they joined in listening until they slept off.
The story line was so captivating. This is resilience, love, loss, power, survival, spirit all in one place. I love the way it portrays how each character is feeling, thinking. It all comes together.
We need a movie from the first book to this one. Can’t wait. I would pay to watch it over and over.
Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of work.

arite

I waited so long for this book and I have to say that it didn’t live up to MY expectation. The story was cool but lacked depth but I’m happy the series is now completed
