#legacy of orïsha

[frantastichenrik]

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?

Every Book/Series I’ve Ever Read: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

"We are all children of blood and bone. All instruments of vengeance and virtue."

[jvzebel-x]

"When your opponent has no honour, you must fight in different ways. Smarter ways."

x. "Children of Blood and Bone", Tomi Adeyemi

"You shall carry all of us in your heart. We shall live in every breath you take. Every incantation you speak. You are the children of the gods-- you shall never be alone."

Cover Art | Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi

Featuring gorgeous designed edges, dazzling metallic foil designs on the jacket and case, and an exclusive endpaper map that reveals new unexplored territories, Tomi Adeyemi’s #1 New York Times-bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series comes to an earth-shaking conclusion. New allies rise. The Blood Moon nears. Zélie faces her final enemy. The king who hunts her heart.

When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland. Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands. But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Wisdom teeth, a new period and looots of rest and relaxation

It’s already been a week since I last posted! Had two wisdom teeth taken out on Friday and was reading, drawing and watching tv for the rest of the weekend. The swelling has really gone down so I went to my class this afternoon, which was nice! I also took two walks which was nice after two days of being inside.

I finished the third installment in the Legacy of Orïsha by Tomi Adeyemi and while it was a good book and I enjoyed it, I didn’t love it as much as the previous ones, which was a shame.

I started the ninth book in the Outlander series, Go tell the bees I am gone, and absolutely adoring it. It’s such a comfort series to me and I am looking forward to continue!

I’ve also started drawing again (FINALLY). Hope to do more of that in the upcoming weeks! Or at least have fun with this one! I am finding so much more joy in not-completely-realism, having visible brushstrokes and a more illustrative style!

To everyone reading this, have a lovely week and do the things you enjoy!✨

thank you HUFFPOST for naming BURY YOUR GAYS one of eight summer releases you are most excited about LETS TROT

[infinitex123]

I feel like I'm yapping to a void cause idk if any Legacy of Orïsha fans will even see this or anything but like I did see one post where it says that when the first book, Children of Blood and Bone came out, they expected a fandom but it lacks one and ngl I think it's kinds true. When I got into the first and second book I was invested in thr trillogy so much I thought I could just like go wild and make AUs and fanships and people would like be making OCs, OC x Canon self shipping and stuff like that but like I barley see any of it. I see some fanfics and art but like what about the possible animations? And I frogot to add headcanons too. Well it's not stopping me to do it but the problem is that am I just sharing something not many people would get? Is it just me sharing to a wall?

Even though I think of this still I won't just not do it just because no one else is

Also I thought about creating a community for the Legacy of Orïsha fans on Tumblr for that purpose but it's taking like a while to be approved idk if it will be approved unless I pay for the Premuim

But yeah that is my yap session I'll just do it before the thought eats me whole

I just want someone to know who are fans of the trilogy if they also feels this way idk

New Releases - Week of June 25, 2024

We have four books that we're watching for this week. This week will bring us a romance and a whole lot of fantasy. 

Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron Bloomsbury YA

Only the truly desperate – and foolish – seek out the Knight, an ancient monster who twists wishes into curses. Eve knows this first-hand: one of her mothers was cursed by the Knight and trapped in the body of a songbird. With the unique abilities to communicate with animals and conjure weapons from nature, Eve has trained all her life to defeat him.

With more and more villagers harmed by the Knight’s corrupt deals, Eve believes she’s finally ready to face him. But when Queen Regina begins acting strangely – talking to seemingly no one, isolating herself, and lashing out at the slightest provocation – Eve must question if her powers are enough to save her family and her kingdom.

Crashing Into You by Rocky Callen Henry Holt & Co.

In this fiercely moving YA romance novel, Leti Rivera’s love of street racing is put to the test when tragedy strikes her family and threatens to tear her apart from the boy she’s falling for.

Seventeen-year-old Leti Rivera dreams of becoming a famous female street racer. Her brother taught her how to drive so fast that nothing can catch her.

But when Jacob Fleckenstein crashes into her life, Leti starts to think that running isn’t always the answer. Together, inside her car, they both feel like they’re flying, and Jacob’s gentleness and honesty threaten Leti’s vow to keep her heart tight in her fist and her grief locked away.

Yet after tragedy strikes following a race, Leti blames herself and swears an oath, a juramento, to give up driving. But will she be able to keep her promise when racing could be the very thing that saves Jacob . . . and herself? Perfect for fans of Netflix’s Atypical and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.

We Shall Be Monsters by Tara Sim Nancy Paulsen Books

After her sister Lasya’s sudden death, Kajal vows to do whatever it takes to bring her back. No cost is too great, even if it means preventing Lasya’s soul from joining the cycle of reincarnation. But as Kajal prepares for the resurrection, her sister’s trapped soul warps into a bhuta—a violent, wraith-like spirit hell-bent on murdering those who wronged it in life. With each kill, the bhuta becomes stronger and fiercer, and Kajal’s chances of resurrecting Lasya with her soul intact grow slimmer.

Blamed for Lasya’s rampage and condemned as a witch, Kajal is locked away with little hope of escape. That is, until two strangers who label themselves rebels arrive and offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom’s fallen crown prince, aiding their coup to overthrow the usurper who sits the throne. Desperate to return to Lasya’s body, Kajal rushes to revive the crown prince . . . only to discover that she’s resurrected another boy entirely.

All her life, Kajal has trusted no one but her sister. But with Lasya dead and rebels ready to turn her over to the usurper’s ruthless soldiers, Kajal is forced to work with the boy she mistakenly revived. Together, they must find the crown prince before the rebels discover her mistake, or the bhuta finally turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for Lasya’s death: Kajal.

Children of Anguish and Anarchy (Legacy of Orïsha #3) by Tomi Adeyemi Henry Holt & Co.

When Zelie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.

[haveyoureadthispoll]

They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise. Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good. Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers and her growing feelings for an enemy.
