Note in this episode I refer to these books as the Orïsha trilogy, the correct title for the trilogy is Legacy of Orïsha.
Episode Description: This episode delves into Tomi Adeyemi's Legacy of Orïsha trilogy, exploring themes of identity, power, and the fight for justice in a world rich with West African culture. We'll discuss the emotional impact of the books, the characters' journeys, and the author's skillful storytelling.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab
In the final episode of the season, I discuss my favourite book of 2023, 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by V.E. Schwab. The story follows Addie, a young woman who makes a deal with a god that grants her immortality but also makes her invisible and forgotten by everyone she meets. Addie meets a man named Henry who can remember her, and they form a deep connection. The book explores themes of identity, love, and the consequences of making deals with supernatural beings.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/micheatagana/message Hosted on Acast.

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
In this episode the sunlight did me dirty but I also talk about 'Starling House' by Alix E. Harrow. I delve into the unique aspects of the book, such as the flawed and complex characters, the magical house as a character, and the exploration of themes like family, belonging, exploitation, and consent. I loved the world-building and the natural pace of the story's unfolding. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/micheatagana/message Hosted on Acast.
