I really enjoyed this series and can’t wait for the film adaptation! The first two books are tied for my favorite. This one was really good but not great. I kind of wish we didn’t go on a side quest in the last book and actually got more on what became of Orisha post uniting to face the skulls. And Inan! I’m heart broken, I personally wish it was Amari over him (lol). Overall I loved this story

What a whirlwind. Taking us to this entirely new place and introducing so many new characters can be risky, but it was well done. I also really enjoyed seeing how the characters we already know and love interacted in this new setting. I also really loved seeing more into tzains character. He easily became a favorite. I also enjoyed the bi representation.
One thing I will say is the end was very abrupt. I know there will be another book but darn, it ended so fast.
Also where is Roën? I kept waiting for him to show up and he never did ☹️
True rating:3.9

✨ Book Review: Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi ✨
🎧 Audiobook Edition | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Whew! Just finished listening to the final book in The Legacy of Orïsha series, and let me tell you—what. a. ride. This series is a powerhouse when it comes to representation, resistance, and reclaiming power. 🔥✨
From the very beginning, I’ve been hooked on the characters, the richness of the culture, and the unapologetic way it blends magic with meaning. Yes, I had to translate a few words here and there (shoutout to context clues and Google 😅), but it made the experience even more immersive.
At its core, this book is about empowerment—rising above injustice, facing inner and outer battles, and fighting to create a world where everyone belongs. In today’s climate, that message hit even harder. 💪🏾
And can we talk about the audiobook narration? Absolutely stellar. It brought the emotion and intensity to life in a way that had me glued to every word.
I also saw that the Children of Blood and Bone movie is officially filming—y’all, I cannot wait to see this world come to life on screen. If it’s anything like the books, we are in for something incredible. 🎬📚
If you haven’t read (or listened to) this series yet, now’s the time. It’s powerful, poetic, and absolutely unforgettable.
