Children of Virtue and Vengeance
by Tomi Adeyemi
3/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐
Well, I have to admit I read a few other reviews of this book before writing this, because I wanted to see if it just me...
Maybe this suffers from sequel syndrome, but I just did not love it at all.
It was like whiny, and long-winded to me, and I kept feeling like boo hoo, get on with it!
And then for the very last chapter to be COMPLETELY out of left field the way it is... with NO closure at all! I was almost offended. After reading this whole freakin' book, this is how you close????
I absolutely LOVED CofBaB, it was one of those rare 5-star books for me, but this one really can't even pull 4 stars.
The characters just mark time, I felt like there was really almost no character development or transformation at all, which to me is the hallmark of a great story.
Hopefully, the next one will be MUCH improved, but I don't know if I'll be rushing to pre-order the HB like I did with this one.
Read "Celia at 39" instead, that's the one I can't get out of my head.
