About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
For fans of The Gilded Ones, Children of Blood and Bone, and Circe, this is the breathtaking follow-up to SKIN OF THE SEA - an epic love story infused with West African mythology and a powerful new imagining of a devastating time in history, told through the eyes of a bold and unforgettable heroine.
One life. One choice. One sacrifice.
To save those closest to her, Simi sacrificed everything - her freedom, her life as mami wata, and the boy she loves.
Now she serves a new god, watching over the Land of the Dead at the bottom of the ocean. But the tide of change is coming and when Simi discovers demons have entered the human realm bent on destruction, she must break her vow and return to the world above the water.
The fate of the world lies in her hands.

The narrator did a great job in general and was able to say the Yoruba names and single words well - thank you.
With Yoruba being a tonal language, it's quite important that the words are pronounced correctly. This becomes of even greater importance when using phrases and whole sentences as opposed to single words. Otherwise the sentences can lose their meaning.
Overall, really enjoyable - thanks to both author and narrator.
Great Mami Wata tale
