A review by twin2
Daughters of Nri by Reni K. Amayo
4.0
3.8 Stars
First off, THE COVER!
Told from Naala and Sinai's point of view; although at one it was told from someone else's view point (I think Ina)
I was naturally drawn to this book because I am a twin. I don't think I've read any books featuring twins (outside of Harry Potter).
I enjoyed this book. Seeing Naala and Sinai grow in their powers. I also enjoyed seeing the different dynamics of all the ladies in this book. The progression of the twins' story was kind of quick so I think some of the back story was rushed.
In book 2, I hope more is revealed about the old gods and the war.
I did not like how the ending was so rushed. Everything leading up to the twins reuniting was paced nicely. But once they finally met, it happened then it was over. Naala nor Sinai seemed at all disturbed with coming across a girl with her same face.
The demise of the Eze was anticlimactic as well. It seems like the twins defeated him by accident. They didn't even know what they were doing. I guess I was expecting a battle of some kind or for the Eze to be more powerful then he actually was. I mean he defeated the gods and the Earth Mother.
Despite the shortcomings of the end of the book, I am excited to read the next book. I hope it provides some clarity/background on the gods, the Eze, The Earth Mother, and the twins.
