The writing takes you inside this magical world that is easy to connect with the characters and follow along their journeys. I was stressed, sad, scared, angry and relieved while I follow along the characters journey. I absolutely became part of this magical world and I can’t wait to experience what is next.
Какое-то сплошное разочарование. Мои любимые ревьюеры хвалили эту книгу, и я ожидала африканского фольклора, мифологии йоруба, да и вообще любое фэнтэзи без фэйри с острыми ушами – уже само по себе глоток свежего воздуха. Но на деле там совсем нет глубины. Ни в чем. Ни в мифологической составляющей (перечислить пантеон в начале книги doesn’t make it), ни в бытовой, ни в персонажах, ни в отношениях, ни в сюжетных поворотах, ни в языке.

I totally get the hype with this book. It took a full chapter or 2 for me to get into it and follow along, but after that, I was hooked. Top 5 books of 2023 for me.
Had me from the get go. It moved along fast and sort of slowed near the end but I see that was intentional so I’ll read the next book. I agree with Roxanne Gay’s review that some of these folks need to chill and just listen to Amari haha.
Powerful fable/ fantasy story set in a world where magic had once existed, but was t taken violently and with many lives. A ce chance tu reclaim that pits an unlikely quartet against evil. I enjoyed the world building here and grew too like there multi faceted nature of the main characters. Enjoyable experience even though there was plentiful violence throughout.
