Long-listed, Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, 2024

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.

Not what I expected

It seemed as though she decided to just write a whole new story with some of the same main characters. It just seemed so disconnected from the first two books. The story itself was still good but I am not a fan of the ending in any way.

Great series

I was hooked from the first book onward. I couldn't wait until this third series to come out. The narrator of the first two books was incredible. I was thrown off with this narrator. Did a good job but I wished that it was still the previous one. I felt that anguish and anarchy was all over the place and felt like game of thrones season 7th.

Resilience!!!

The new narrator did a great job! The story is excellent and I am truly going to miss ALL of the characters. I wish it was longer. This could easily be a great movie trilogy!!!!!

CYNTHIA!!!!

This book lived up to the hype. Tomi hasn’t disappointed. I hope the series becomes required reading in schools.

A solid ending to an amazing series

Finally, the ending and a good one. I got through this listen in less than a day (with small children). If you loved the first two books, you won’t be disappointed with the ending. I felt all of the fear, love, loss and excitement. Definitely give it a listen.

Interesting conclusion

This thing played with my emotions. I t is a “page turner.” I ended up sitting in my driveway for 1/2 hour to find out what was going to happen next!!

Great finale

I can’t even get my words together to describe her amazing this book was! The imagery made a movie in my mind and I am looking forward to the movies!

Captivating

Again, Tomi does a wonderful job pulling her readers into a world of beauty and adventure. I wish this part wasn’t the end. Looking forward to the next series Tomi has for us.

Worth the wait

This story was a long time coming, but wow. I was NOT expecting this. Beautifully written and read. It is both a clear conclusion and ripe for more stories from these characters. Very well done!

Love this series!!

I have loved this entire series! (*insert chef’s kiss) Such exciting and imaginative characters and storylines.
