Happy Tuesday bookworms and welcome to my review of The Divide Series: War by Magdalene Asante! I'd like to thank the author for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
An ancient curse, two kingdoms, and imminent war. Sensing danger, Sarai returns to her kingdom after ten years to warn them about impending doom. We also follow Ayize, the man on the run who enters the army at Sarai's insistence. Little does Sarai know that she is under the Inmakwe curse, which could take her life. Through her pain, she must fight for her people while balancing politics and family drama, but her mistakes could be costly. As kingdoms collide, can their rulers be ruthless and cunning enough to save their people? I have to say I really enjoyed this book! We followed multiple perspectives aside from Sarai and Ayize and I found that they all were unique in their own way and made it engaging. The writing was very well done, with many quotable phrases and beautiful prose. The plot kept my attention the entire time and I was constantly wondering what would happen. That said, I never could guess the plot twists, which were spread all throughout the story. It was action packed right from the first page and never had a dull moment. Something I loved was all of the strong female main characters, they each were resilient and determined to achieve their goals. All of the characters had their own unique personality and background which made for a rich world history. One thing that I would have liked was more scenes without action so that we could get to know the characters even more and to get a feel for them personally. I really enjoyed seeing how the politics between the kingdoms played a vital role in the story. There was also a great balance between a story of vengeance and power with heartfelt love. With that shocking ending I am definitely excited to read the sequel! I recommend this to anyone looking for an exciting fantasy story! I gave this book a 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's all for my review of The Divide Series: War! I hope you enjoyed it! What are some books you recommend with strong female characters? Let me know in the comments below!
