CHILDREN OF VIRTUE AND VENGEANCE


Tomi Adeyemi scores another hit with her second book, Children of Virtue and Vengeance. Adeyemi elegantly brings readers back into the world she created in her blockbuster debut, Children of Blood and Bone, picking up the thread after Zélie’s powerful ritual brought magic back to the realm. The war between the monarchy and the maji rages on. Zélie is still reeling from heartbreak and betrayal, and now the expectation of her people to whom she is the Soldier of Death weighs heavy on her shoulders. Amari prepares to take the throne, believing she can be a queen who will unite the country, but those in power have other ideas.

There is more magic than ever in this novel, Zélie’s ritual having unexpectedly created tîtáns and cênters, non-maji who wield powerful magic. A sense of duty and righteousness begins to corrupt even those with the best of intentions. Bids for peace are met with acts of revenge, and ruthlessness rules the day. Death and destruction burn through these pages as love and loyalty are tested. Once again, Adeyemi wraps things up with both a satisfying conclusion to this piece of the puzzle and a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come. – Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
