yodi 's review for:

Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi

2.0

---

While I still enjoyed certain parts of this book, it is not as good as the first book in the series. This one suffers from many issues that I find in fantasy books: way too many characters introduced at once (to the point I cannot remember who is who), some sections drag on or slow the pace of the story, and building up parts that should be emotional fall flat as they feel clichéd/predictable. I did enjoy the direction the story went, but the execution left much to be desired.
