I was very excited for this book since Olokun was in it. And this book was a wild ride from start to finish. 

The imagery in this book was perfect, I could really feel the dreariness of Simi’s stint in the deep. How it felt for her to be in land and how her body adjusted after yearning for the heat. 

The battles were described so well, though I wish Simi had more action. But I could easily see the details in my head. Natasha has a way with words and I can’t wait to have more of her work. 

The continuation of Simi and Kola’s relationship broke me because I understood both sides and wanted nothing more than to see them happy. But the burden of duty weighs heavy on Simi even if Kola is willing to do away with it. I think the way it ended was fitting for them even if I wanted more.😫

I love the idea of Simi going to reunite her family and even though the duo is finished, maybe we will get a peek at what their reunion looks like.🤞🏾
