It is quite a slow paced story where we follow Naala and Sinai on a day to day basis. He does everything to keep his position safe, lives don't matter. But in truth they are Goddesses and the ones left to defeat Eze Ochichiri, the ruler of Kingdom of Nri who is mighty and caused the Gods to leave. The story follows Naala and Sinai, twins seperated at birth. The nature and people are described colorful, I loved Amayo's writing it made everything spring to life. So in a way it is a historical fiction I think? The story involves a lot of political and religious elements along with some fantasy. I really enjoyed reading Daughters of Nri! The cover art is stunning! It is based in the Kingdom of Nri which is now Nigeria. Eventually, their paths both lead back to the mighty Eze.īut can they defeat the man who brought the gods themselves to their knees? Both girls are tested in ways that awaken a mystical, formidable power deep within themselves. 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. 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. While the more reserved Sinai resides in the cold and political palace of Nri. Strong-willed Naala grows up seeking adventure in her quiet and small village. Daughters Of Nri explores their epic journey of self-discovery as they embark on a path back to one another. Goddesses who grow up believing that they are human. The only remnants of their existence lie in two girls. A gruesome war results in the old gods' departure from earth.
