"Brutal and unrelenting in its battle scenes, Anguish and Anarchy isn’t for the faint of heart, but with a closer look at the story behind every weapon, ritual and type of magic wielded, readers will find there is more than meets the eye when it comes to how and with what tools we choose to fight our battles . . . Overall, a marvel of a final installment, Children of Anguish and Anarchy begs readers to start again—just to cherish all that Orïsha has accomplished." —Booklist, starred review

Great title

"An excellent sequal! The story kept getting evolving in a fantastical way!"

— Miss M. (5/5)

Fantastic third part

"The third purchase of this series is so far so invigorating and enjoyable. The book pulls you in and I can never not read at-least 10 chapters a night."

— L. B. (5/5)

Title suits it perfectly

"Absolutely love this book, the writer takes you right in and it feels like you're one of the characters."

— Nicole (5/5)

Thrilling conclusion to the trilogy

"Definitely a heart pounding, emotional journey to finish this series and the adventures of Amari and Zelie."

— Kai P. (5/5)

Not the ending I hoped for

"Warning: if you loved this book, you will not like this review. This series started off so strong but sadly waned with each new book. This long awaited finale in particular made no sense in the context of continuation. The book starts in bondage and conveniently kills or removes several key characters in the blink of an eye. Forgiveness and trust is handed out like candy at Halloween, which given the characters history seems odd. It also felt reductive to have the reborn maji without power once again and in chains after the battle fought and won for freedom. This leap was a cop out to develop the existing story in Orisha by instead opting for a new energy in the form of colonization and slavery. New lands and new people are introduced in this instalment with unexplained magic, especially when it comes to blood magic and Zelie’s newfound powers. I get wanting fantasy to be rooted in history and existing societal issues, but in a trilogy you owe invested readers a culmination to an existing storyline. As the end of the trilogy there was a lot I didn’t like. Amari proved to be completely unremarkable with a love story that was imputed for diversity and lacked any feeling or depth. Tzain and Inan existed merely as supporting spokes to Zelie, who was rather helpless in this book, in opposition to the badass MC we are used to. The multiple POVs were distracting in this sequence with a discrepancy between time and character development. In my opinion this style did not advance the narrative. While this was certainly a plot driven story with a lot happening, this too was and area not adequately developed. We were left to wonder about the magical systems of New Gaia and Baldeirik. While these two communities vaguely resembled the ancient South American and Norse civilizations, respectively, with new languages and traditions, I found I needed a lot more to understand why the New Gaians would trust Zelie and become allies immediately, and how Balderirik gained so much manpower and magic. All the while, Orisha was basically forgotten with old wounds healed overnight. In terms of action, each character seemed to make repetitive silly decisions that saw them walking into the same traps over and over again. The idea of sacrifice and easy defeat of an ominous foe was also something I didn’t particularly like. It was too simple an ending given all that had come before. Don’t build a mountain simply to have the story fall off the cliff. Zelie’s control of her new golden light and the medallion’s sudden inability to control her lacked reasoning. This just needed more - more storytelling, more world building, more character development, more explanation of magical system, more mythology, more rationale, more continuity. If I looked at this book as a standalone, I would like it a lot more. Sure a lot of the characters and their relationship to each other wouldn’t make sense to me, but I wouldn’t be looking to see the future of Orisha and the maji take centre stage, I wouldn’t be looking for old wounds to be addressed and healed. New Gaia was an interesting place and I really liked Mae’e. Hers was a POV that I wanted in this novel. Outside of the existing characters and land this was an imaginative place that could have worked as a tandem story in the same world, like Prodigy in Marie Lu’s Legend series or, Tolkien’s The Silmarian. A new enemy and a new story, not forced to fit into a preexisting mold. Unfortunately, that is not how I approached this book. If you have to wait four years for the culmination of a series it better blow expectations out of the water. Sadly this was a let down for me. Book review: 2. 75/5 ⭐️ Genre: fantasy, African mythology Themes: oppression, power and balance, colonization, slavery 📖 Read if you like: The Eternal Ones, Blood Scion"

Worth the wait

"Enjoyed the 2 previous books. Glad I did not have to wait 13years and counting for the it. Looking at you Patrick Rothfuss - The Kingkiller Chronicle"

— Lynn (4/5)

Review

"A really good wrap up for the series but also sad that it’s over and I would love more"

— Savannah (4/5)

Decent but very rushed

"Overall decent book, but it should've talked way more about the journey in Orisha and the Orishans working together. The book felt extremely pushed. I wanted it to be longer, to be able to explain way more into detail everything that was happening (the new worlds, their cultures, their people, etc). It should've fully closed the plotholes in the way this series deserved, rather than just doing it in two pages so the book could move on to the next thing. The action was nice and exciting, but it would've been way better if as the reader we had more time to connect to the story. I found myself reminiscing to the thrill felt in the first book. None of the following ones compared to the emotions felt in the first ones except for maybe some parts. What I did love was the introduction of a new world and new characters, and I could imagine the New Gaians as Indigenous-Latinos, as the are heavily influenced by Portuguese. But again, it all felt extremely short and extremely rushed for it to be the closing book of a series."

— SebQM (3/5)

Spellbinding and moving story

"I really liked the chats development in this story and the twists and turns kept it interesting. It was definitely a page-turner and I couldn’t put it down, but also didn’t want it to end. This author’s masterful storytelling, incorporating mythological intrigue, makes this a highly recommended novel in my opinion."

— Groovy T. (5/5)

Awesome Book

"This was an awesome book and I loved reading the last book in the trilogy! It was exciting and the character development and story was amazing."

— Peacemaker (5/5)
