The Altercation of Vira is about a young woman named Ama who was kidnapped, and soon discovers she's the kingdom of Vira's hidden princess, Elve. Vira is a kingdom placed in an alternate world, in which two tribes have a centuries old feud for control. While everything in Ama's world changes (she discovers her mom's alive but enduring a curse that will kill her in a matter of days), her friend Mel is frantically searching for her, not knowing that Ama will never be the same as when she crossed that portal to Vira. Ama must learn to control herself and her supposed “powers” quickly, before it’s too late to do anything about it.
This book counts with the points of view of both sides of the feud. That makes it hard for the reader to actually pick a side, since both sides are convinced that they’re right. The Altercation of Vira is written in such a way that the author gives you subtle hints about what is happening but doesn’t tell you actually everything. That’s the thing about a third person point of view; the author can actually tell you what every character’s thinking in a way that helps us understand everybody’s actions.
This book was really entertaining. Unexpected rituals, unexpected events, unexpected everything! The Altercation of Vira was unlike any book I’ve read before, in a really good way. Its protagonist goes through a transformation that is really understandable, giveneverything she went through in such a little amount of time. She experiencedreunion, death, love, friendship, rage and fear, and she couldn’t do anythingabout it. Going again to the unexpected, even its ending was quite surprising.It is one of the few books in which I’ve been completely satisfied with the ending. I congratulate Kenechi for that.
Unlike a lot of books I have read, I could picture every single thing that was happening, from beginning to end. I absolutely recommend it and hope you all go and buy yourselves a copy!! <3
