Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi is a fantastic, intense, and emotional read. Adeyemi expertly blends emotions with logic, drawing us into a world where every character's struggle feels incredibly authentic.

The characters themselves are what really make Adeyemi’s writing stand out. They are beautifully flawed, making hasty decisions influenced by a mix of intense emotions - something we can all relate to. 

This book delves into the complexities of leadership and the impact of decisions. It’s honestly a wild and troubling ride.

Listening to the audiobook version adds another layer to the experience, making the story even more immersive and intense. If you debating on picking it up as an audiobook, I highly recommend it. Bahni Turpin did an amazing job.

The relentless pace of the book, with one high-stakes situation after another, is the reason for my four-star rating. A few moments of calm within the storm would have made a big difference.

Overall, Children of Virtue and Vengeance is an engaging, thought-provoking read that stays with you. Definitely worth picking up.
