Welcome to Litsy!

Loved it. Tons of action, more worldbuilding & the powers/tribes are expanded upon. Very intense ending!

Hmm. I loved the first book (was on the committee that shortlisted it for the Morris Award), stayed with it for the 2nd book…. But this one just didn‘t hit the same. It doesn‘t really follow the original story- yes, it expands the world but with an entirely new enemy… it‘s like a companion more than a series ender. The audio is fantastically done with Cynthia Erivo… but I definitely felt a little jumbled w/PoV changes.

I had long awaited Anguish & Anarchy. It was pretty good but I was a bit disappointed at the end. It had a great build up with a lot of action, but felt it all resolved too quickly. I just went back and read the first two so I could experience the whole story at once. It was fun to revisit all, and still looking forward to the movie—following Adeyemi on instagram, she is working on the Blood & Bone script. And the covers are all so beautiful.

Audio. To begin, I have read the previous book since it came out 5 years ago. So it took me a while to remember these characters, as the plot went right into it. This third book felt more like an addition instead of a continuation from how I remember the second one ending. It was more violent. It didn‘t feel like the previous books - which is not a bad thing, just didn‘t fit for me. The whole ending fight didn‘t feel right, I did not like it

What a great way to end the series. I love and will definitely miss all the characters!

Enjoy!

Finally, the long-awaited book 3 arrived today! I originally preordered this years ago, then saw signed preorder available, so cancelled to get this one. Can‘t wait to read the final segment - with a new map expanded from Orisha… new adventures and new places! Probably going to go back and read books 1 & 2 again before starting this. Just happy it‘s here! Yay!
