Sincere question why does the "Legacy of Orïsha" trilogy lack a fandom? Like yeah, I see people praising the books, and I myself enjoy them (have not read #3 yet) , but there is not a huge following, not many fanfic or fan art) when the 1st book came out I was looking forward to seeing a new fandom grow but it never happen. I wonder what is going to happen when the movies come out?

You know I kinda hated the way Zelie was depicted with Eurocentric hair in the cover of Children of Blood & Bone series, but then I realized that’s kinda the point. Her hair contains her magic so by the time her wild mane of curls returns to her by the end of the book it means she has her power is back and I think that’s a beautiful message to send to little Black girls. Still hate the way that message went right over fan artists heads

legacy of orisha

desperately need someone to yap to about all my unrealized hopes and dreams for this series. Genuinely why did it end that way

[incorrectchildrenofbloodandbone]

I've finished Children of Blood and Bone and I feel satisfied knowing Saran is dead.

But where the fuck is Inan? I never got any confirmation of what happened to his dumbass. (He made me so mad I swear)

Reading Saran's death was one of my favorite parts of the book tbh. Have you started the second book yet? CoBaB made me so angry at him but CoVaV made me feel kind of bad for him, like every time he was there I just wanted him to take a nap or eat a meal. Dude was stressed as hell. I was still mad at him though lmao

“Not like that," Na'imah instructs, shaking her head so hard that a shower of orange flower petals fall from her curls. Dragonflies orbit her head as she repositions a maji's hands around her cheetanaire's temples. "Feel the connection.”

Children of Virtue and Vengeance, written by Tomi Adeyemi

tragic / doomed sibling roulette

[granny-weatherwax]

This comment has me so confused. It's tragic because they lost both their parents in really painful ways and having to be separated from the only family they have left would be awful? The whole point is that this is tragic because they're family?

Does anyone know if Tzain was with Zelie at the end of CoV&V? We know Amari was and id be absolutely heartbroken if the ship was only magic-users and Tzain and Zelie we're separated

[sprnklersplashes]

Taylor wrote Castles Crumbling about Amari in CoVaV, change my mind

[once-upon-an-animation]

Every time I see fancasts for Children of Blood and Bone, I’m always disappointed with the lack of consideration for Nigerian actors, especially considering Tomi’s Nigerian heritage and the obvious Yoruba influences in the books.

This world needs more Legacy of Orisha art.

[powerwordsleep]

I'm reading Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi (2nd book in the Legacy of Orisha series) and looking in the tags for this is such a trashfire, because all anyone says about the character Inan is how much they want him to d!e and to suffer for the hurt he's caused. Which is a shame, because it's clear Adeyemi has taken great care to write Inan as a deeply flawed person with his heart in the right place, who unfortunately makes poor choices with harsh consequences. He is the epitome of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

We get his POV in both books so we know his thought process--we know he's trying to fight "for the greater good" and be a good ruler protecting his country. We see him quickly undergo the process of unlearning prejudice instilled in him since birth and abuse from his father. And then try to reform the monarchy from the inside out, but struggle with doing so because of the pressure, influence, and WAR going on. As if it could be reformed overnight. Inan is a tragic character. He is always so close to doing good rather than harm, but it fails.

It would be such a dissatisfying ending for him to be killed by Zelie. What would he have learned? Will that truly bring Zelie and Amari peace? How does that heal the hurt that's been caused by the monarchy? Especially with a character like Inan who wants to help and to heal.

That awkward moment when your fave comits mass murder

[dante-inferno]

Me: Wow Adeyemi takes a lot of inspiration from ATLA in her writing and all. Inan is probably inspired by Zuko maybe he’ll get a good character arc like Zuko did!

Me by page 275 of the second book: Just kidding I hope Inan dies a super painful death fuck that little bitch.
