First read of 2023! This cover is just as stunning as book 1. We continue the story of Simi, follow the consequences of book 1, and see her reunited with her love but not in the way we expected or hoped for. This was an easy ride, not too much suspense or action like the first book, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be getting a physical copy for my shelf.

This was such a fantastic book. I loved every minute of it! Plus, I just LOVED the conclusion. I'll definitely be recommending this to my teen readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children's for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Simi was an awesome character: to the end she was true to her nature. I also liked other chracters but I think the amount of action didn't leave space to develope characters further.

I loved this world and how I got to learn more about African mythology and even some habits.

If you think about this only as a fantasy novel then you can't unnotice how simple and straightforward the plot is. One twist was easy to see coming so that wasn't a real twist.

I was intrigued by mythology, world and I also enjoyed the action. I just hoped I could have felt a bit more.
