Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Legacy of Orisha, Book 2

By: Tomi Adeyemi

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin

Full of magic and danger, Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the breathtaking sequel to Tomi Adeyemi's ground-breaking, bestselling West African-inspired fantasy Children of Blood and Bone, soon to be a major movie starring Wicked's Cynthia Erivo.

After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could've imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji, but of nobles with magic ancestry, too.

Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. But with civil war looming on the horizon, Zélie finds herself at a breaking point: she must discover a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orïsha tears itself apart . . .

Continue the mythical magic with the last in the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy, Children of Anguish and Anarchy.

The book is great

Loved the story

The narration was awful. Terrible “African” accent that sounded like a Russian accent sometimes. Mispronunciations of Yoruba words and places kind of puts you off. The narrator can either learn the right accent or just plain use an American accent and save us the trauma.

A stellar performance yet again

I can't get enough of this narrator. I wish she could narrate all West African audio books. Story is great too, I do prefer book 1, but that is just because I am more attracted to lighter story.

I want more!!!

How can Tomi just leave it on a cliffhanger like that? I want the next one right now.

Brilliant

Amazing story and narrator. Cannot wait for the next book. Will be waiting in anticipation.
