Review: Children of Virtue and Vengeance

Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Zélie and Amari have done the impossible and brought magic back into their land. The next task might be just as difficult. They need to bring together the maji, but since the nobles with magic in their ancestry also got their magic back, it is becoming harder. If Zélie doesn’t unite the kingdom then a civil war might become the only option. Will Orïsha be able to overcome magic being wielded? Will Zélie and Amari be able to unite the people?

Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the second book in the Legacy of Orïsha series. This fantasy novel has everything a reader will want. It has magic and adventure with quite a bit of family rivalry mixed in. Adeyemi has taken the world that she built in the first novel and expanded the story and the characters. Zélie and Amari truly thought bringing magic back would fix all their issues, but nothing is ever simple and they continue to fight for what they think is right. I recommend this book to all fantasy readers, but please read the first book before delving into this one.
