Quick and interesting novella. Really loved seeing what was happening on the Orisha side of things. Prepares you for book 2, so I would read beforehand.

I received a copy of this book from the author and I have chose to review this.

This was an amazing epilogue to T.J. Young and The Orishas. I loved the story and the production of this audiobook. When The Wind Speaks features Manny and her Orisha, Oya. Oya tried to communicate with Manny and has challenges doing so. What an ending! I can’t wait to read the second book.

The first thing I loved so much about this audiobook was the Incorporated sounds of busy streets, moving trains. It kind of transports the reader into the scenes because these are familiar everyday sounds we're used too.

The story was beautiful and short like the Will of the mischief maker. A prequel to the next book in the TJ Young and the Orishas series, The wind weaver's storm. I'm so excited to read this.

One thing I didn't like was the pronunciation of the native names. But with time I ignored it because I liked how she made the characters sound.

This is a quick listen if you're on the go and need to keep your mind preoccupied. Make sure to check out other works by Antoine Bandele.
