I definitely loved the full circle ending of this book. The incorporation of many different aspects of African spirituality was so great. Definitely a recommended read

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Soul of the Deep is the second installment within the Skin of the Sea series. The first book was so freaking good and made me super excited to jump into this one. Now while this was good, it wasn't my absolute favorite. The whole open ending slightly annoyed me because I have so many questions. Maybe we will get another book? If not, I will riot.

In this, we have lots of action, drama, and betrayals. With so many characters to keep track of, I had no idea who I could or couldn't trust. Sure, at one point I kept focusing on Esu and how they just seemed untrustworthy. Then Ara comes into the picture and completely surprises me. As for Kola and Simi, things are definitely starting to add up and make more sense.

Secretly hoping Natasha announces another book is on the way. I'm not sure how I will feel if this is the last book because there's so much more to explore. I would also like a reunion between certain characters for sure. Other than that, I'm happy that I found my way to this series. Definitely need another book.
