Another homerun by Natasha Bowen! Brought a whole new level of West African folklore with plenty of beautiful imagery and unsettling horrors. Simi struggles with the choices she's made and their consequences. When she learns it's all been in vain, she sets out to make things right.
Such a beautifully told story despite it's darker side. I know I will be rereading this duology numerous times, while hoping it turns into a full series. Would LOVE to see it adapted into a movie. Despite the long gap between reading the 1st book, Skin of the Sea, I was able to jump back into the story and become engrossed in Simi's world all over again. Can only imagine how much more I would have loved it if I had read them back to back!
