Summary
Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Erivo narrates Tomi Adeyemi’s long-awaited conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series.
New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.
Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands.
But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Lots of fun concepts but missing the impact of the previous books
IMO this was the weakest one of this series. I liked the premise that the infighting between the magi and the crown led to orisha becoming weakened and targeted by another nation. However there were so many new concepts, characters and new magic systems introduced, there wasn't enough time to make them each fully formed.
I thought what made the other books great and heartbreaking was the unclear path to peace for the magi in orisha that inevitably kept leading to violence. However, while a core theme in the other books, it didn't receive much examination here.
The villain was one dimensional evil, with no clear motivations which made them pretty boring, especially compared to the well meaning but misguided Inan playing the role of the antagonist in previous books.
Instead of well explained, consistent magic systems, magic was generally introduced seemingly based on what served the plot or what would look cool.
As for the performance, the narrator's voice wasn't particularly expressive and it was very breathy, which caused their voice to vary a lot in volume. It made their voice hard to hear except for in the quietest conditions.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
