Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi
4.0
Where do I even start? Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the second book in the Children of Blood and Bone series and answers a lot of questions that the ending of the first book left us with.
***SPOILERS BELOW***
After the previous book, Zélie and Amari were successful in bringing magic back to Orïsha. Amazing right? However, the ritual was stronger than they intended and magic was also granted to the nobility and a new type of magic wielders was created, the Tîtans. With both sides now wielding magic, another action-packed adventure to restore peace to Orïsha ensued.
What was supposed to be a great victory presented more challengers. This leads to Zélie questioning herself and her decision to bring magic back. It also leads to complications in her relationship with Amari.
Though this book provided more answers, it also left me with more questions. Especially after the ending. however, it doesn’t live up to the excitement of the first book *for me.* The writing of the characters, the plot, and the ending are what kept me from giving this one five stars.
Also, can we just end the monarchy entirely instead of making Amari a Queen?
