Children of Virtue and Vengeance: A West African-inspired YA Fantasy, Filled with Danger and Magic

Just to put it out there Tomi is an incredible writer , the way in which she instills emotion and develops conflict is astonishing. And at some point I had so much interpersonal conflict,I'd stop reading the book to scream all on my own,and when I was sure I was done with the book,I'd find myself in between the pages of the book. Roen is a prick, no lies.I just really don't like him, not that I hate him but I just don't want him with Zelie . It's not fair that Inan's effort is compared to Roen's presence . Of course Roen was always there for Zelie because he didn't have to compromise anything. Inan had a kingdom to protect,he had tough decisions to make, it was impossible for him to just up and leave everything and run with Zelie. No one acknowledges his efforts to change, there were so so many obstacles but he still tried. He even dissolved the monarchy for heaven's sake, but no one cares, right? I've seen inan grow because of zelie's love ,I've seen how he wants to change for her.

It was a joy to take in all the twists and turns, leaving us on a cliff hanger once again. Deeply looking forward to reading both books again, until the next one arrives 😁📚

The best thing I have ever read, I experienced eveey word, lived every character through Tomi's writing. AHMAYZING!!! 😭
