I actually loved this book even more than the first one! Bowen’s character development and world building is really incredible. I love the way that she ties together Esu, Semi, and Kola and their various fates.

Spoilers and things of note:
I did not see Yemoja releasing Semi from her commitment - this was so beautiful that she saw her as both part of the collective and the individual - I audibly gasped! 
Bowens commentary of how power corrupts AND the true power that community holds is incredible. 
Kola and Semi’s love story is so perfect - “I choose you, but I also choose me.” 
I really do think the ending was perfect - I don’t know at this point if there is a third book coming but I definitely wouldn’t be mad about it!

Hoping to read more by her!!
