A good conclusion to a duology so full of life and color. I enjoyed the extension into West African mythology; more was explained about creatures that weren’t Orisa. The character development with Simi and Kola was satisfying to see as they both came to terms with decisions made in Skin of the Sea and the con consequences of them. This book extended on the strength of the people in West Africa and how much their faith influences them. It makes me want to read more about these cultures. Thankfully, the author but a list in the back of the book for further reading.
