I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book was considering it is a YA novel. ( ![]() Everyone, read this book! Fantastic, exciting and beautiful. Can't wait for the next one in the series! Und wieder mal Fantasy zur Abwechslung. Hier hatte ich eigentlich mehr erwartet - was ich bekommen habe, ist ein Fantasyroman mit einem interessanten Setting, aber relativ eindimensionalen Charakteren und ein bis zwei eher schwachen Liebesgeschichten. Natürlich muss man dazu sagen, dass ich ja auch nicht die eigentliche Zielgruppe bin. Als Jugendliche hätte ich das wahrscheinlich anders gesehen. Aber gerade mit Fantasyromanen und Dystopien aus dem Bereich Young Adult habe ich zuvor schon gute Erfahrungen gemacht, deshalb habe ich es versucht. Spectacular addition both to fantasy canon and to conversations about race -- spectacular because there are so many themes packed into the book, but even more so because they don't bog the fast -moving plot or the world building down. It's very much in the tradition of great science fiction and fantasy of the past, where the writer creates a space to try out ideas and see where their logical conclusions go. It's also a traditional quest book, with characters that provoke strong emotion.I'm very interested to see where it goes next. Every time I think I can see the path, something twists. Whenever I listen to an audiobook and like it, I wonder whether the narrator had something to do with it. I realized, though, that the storytelling needs to be good as well. Bahni Turpin read this fantasy superbly complementing the excellent storytelling of the book. The ending...oh dear, what does it mean??
Digesting volumes of brutal and downtrodden images can be dangerous. It can lead to despair, paralysis, and/or self-fulfilling prophecies of further demise. Millions of people are ordinarily numb to the fact that hyper-violence and wretched Africanized worlds are hallmarks of modern media (esp. Hollywood), and accept it wholesale. Remarkably though, Adeyemi inserts a critical lifeline into this abyss–the concept that the Gods of one’s own ancestors (in this case the Orisha) provide salvation unlike any other. If a “Black Lives Matter–inspired fantasy novel” sounds like an ungainly hybrid—a pitch gone wrong—think again... The creator of a mythical land called Orïsha, Adeyemi taps into a rich imaginative lineage as she weaves West African mythology into a bespoke world that resonates with our own.

Seventeen-year-old Zélie, her older brother Tzain, and rogue princess Amari fight to restore magic to the land and activate a new generation of magi, but they are ruthlessly pursued by the crown prince, who believes the return of magic will mean the end of the monarchy.
