Friends, WHAT A BOOK. Sincerely, this is so cool.
For context, i'm from Brazil. And here we have multiple religions based on yoruba culture, originating afrobrazilian religions. Some of them have the exact same deities that are mentioned in the book. The most known here, i think, is Yemoja (in portuguese: Iemanjá). So imagine HOW COOL was to read a fantasy world with them!
I loved every single aspect of this, i binge read this book and simply could not put it down. And will not rest until i put my hands in Children of Virtue and Vengeance, the sequel.
