Description

About the Author Reni K was born and raised in London to two Nigerian immigrant parents. Her active imagination used to give her terrifying nightmares, wonderful daydreams and elaborate white lies. Now she uses her gift to reimagine the Nigerian land untouched by the scars of colonialism, and instead enriched with its deep, old and powerful magic. Reni came up with concept for Daughters of Nri on a packed train five years ago, and now she is ready to share it with the world. Follow her on instagram and twitter @renikamayo!

Features & Highlights

  • A gruesome war results in the old gods' departure from earth. The only remnants of their existence lie in two girls. Twins, separated at birth. Goddesses who grow up believing that they are human. Daughters Of Nri explores their epic journey of self-discovery as they embark on a path back to one another.
  • Strong-willed Naala grows up seeking adventure in her quiet and small village. While the more reserved Sinai resides in the cold and political palace of Nri. Though miles apart, both girls share an indestructible bond: they share the same blood, the same face, and possess the same unspoken magic, thought to have vanished with the lost gods.
  • The twin girls were separated at birth, a price paid to ensure their survival from Eze Ochichiri, the man who rules the Kingdom of Nri. Both girls are tested in ways that awaken a mystical, formidable power deep within themselves. Eventually, their paths both lead back to the mighty Eze.
  • But can they defeat the man who brought the gods themselves to their knees?

Had me…then lost me

Now at first, how the plot was thought out really caught my attention. The prologue held me on in continuing the story. But I barely make it halfway before it just felt flat to me. What really bothered me was the quick point of view change between characters, something you would normally see in a book suited for children not so much in a YA. It bugged me so much that I couldn’t continue it - twice! I gave another chance, but I gave up right after.

I liked what the author had in mind for this story, but the writing could have been better with less telling and more showing

Very good read

Looking forward to reading the next part of the series. Hoping the author goes into detail of what actually happened to the Eze and the aftermath.

Imaginative and entertaining.

This was an impressive introduction to this world. I'm looking forward to revisit this world again.
