I’m 100% biased since I loved the first two, but I absolutely loved the sneak peek of the new book! Cannot wait to see how the story wraps up and I’m happy the 3rd book is finally coming out!!

*gasp* I can't wait to read the rest of this. I definitely need to get myself caught up and re-read the first two since it's been a few years. Can't wait!

This book was JUAT AMAZING!! I WAITED YEARS YEARSS FOR THIS BOOK TO COME OUT AFTER THE CLIFFHANGER IN BOOK 2!!!!!! It started off what happened last time and BOOM!!!!! Still can’t believe what happened. Now I’m excited for the release so I can read the full book

The first book was amazing, but the second book was eh. So when I saw this chapter sampler I was curious, because there's that little thought of what if this is just as good as the first book? Well off that first chapter let me just say that I am getting excited! It had that flair to it that the first book had, and oh was it making me wish I had the next chapter right away!

Reading this sampler made me immediately want to go out and reread the first two books. Thank you so much for the opportunity to give it a read!!

The long awaited ending to this series! This little sample chapter just made me that much more excited to read this conclusion!

I managed to get a sampler with the first few chapters from Netgalley. Amazing so far!

The writing is beautiful as expected. I’m intrigued and eager to read the final book in this trilogy once it comes out.

This was a great start to the last in a series. I have been waiting so long for this book to come out. I hope the rest of the book will wrap up the series well. This sample makes me optimistic.

Loved the sample. Been waiting years to for the conclusion of the series and I’m so glad that it’s coming out so soon.

This teaser was amazing! So pumped for book 3!!!!! I can't wait to get to read the entire book. This world has been so meaningful to me because of the representation and I couldn't be more thankful

After the disappointment of book two, this sampler has me hopeful that this is a return to form for the series. I don't know how to feel that we are being taken away from Orisha and I hope that the entire book doesn't take place outside of the world that has been built for the first two books, but I'm interested in seeing how magic in other countries around Orisha is different from that of the Orisha magic system. Still, the ending of book two felt lack-luster and without a proper conclusion, so I hope that we don't spend the entirety of this book without knowing how things went down in Orisha following the abduction of our main cast of characters.

A thrilling wrap-up to Tomi Adeyemi's ground-breaking trilogy, "Children of Anguish and Anarchy" will captivate readers right up to the very last page. This epic narrative elevates the bar for fantasy fiction and cedes Adeyemi's position as one of the genre's most intriguing voices with its captivating characters, vividly created universe, and thought-provoking issues.

ready to read the rest after this delicious sampler!

We pick up with where book two, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, left off. With Zelie, Inan, Amari, and Tzain captured on a foreign ship controlled by the Skulls. The maji are all locked in cages and hope is blight as they are trafficked across the seas. With the sample of the third addition to the series, Children of Anguish and Anarchy puts you right back in the world of magic and wondering how will the maji get out of this one and save their people.

This was only 5 chapters of the book, but by the first 5 sentences I was HOOKED! Adeyemi has such a poetic and entrancing way of writing stories that drown out all other sounds and thoughts to make you hooked from the first word of the book. The Children of Blood and Bone Series was my first fantasy novel and it opened my world up to fantasy. I kid you not, my mind is transported and explodes with imagery of the world that Adeyemi depicts in her novels. It is like I am standing next to Zelie and I feel her magic.

I know Adeyemi wrote another masterpiece with the third installment. This has me excited and I cannot wait for the release date!

#ChildrenofAnguishandAnarchyChapterSampler #NetGalley

Thank you Netgalley for the advance sampler copy of Children of Anguish and Anarchy Chapter Sampler by Tomi Adeyemi in exchange for an honest review. This sampler got me ready for the new book in the series and makes me want to reread the previous to refresh my mind. I love this series and can't wait until I get to finish this book.

This feels...weirdly disconnected to the earlier books in the trilogy. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the long wait between books; it's hard to remember where things left off and the finer details of the world and characters. There's a good bit of recap at the beginning of this sampler, slipped into the narration itself to remind readers of how book 2 ended, but it just feels kind of clumsy. Nor does it solve the lack of connection on a deeper level. This could have been an interesting chapter opener to a new book, but it feels so separate from what was going on in book 2 that it doesn't flow.

Part of the issue is that the book 2 ending was so abrupt and out of left field that following it up almost necessarily feels like a departure. Suddenly, the characters are in chains on a boat. In this sampler, we're introduced to the Skulls, their captors. With all the creativity of the first book, having a random group of slavers sweep in and naming them "Skulls" feels lazy.

I didn't have a lot of confidence that this series would be able to right itself after the disappointment of book 2, and this further cemented that for me.

I didn't realize that this was the third book in a series when I first downloaded the sampler, but now I'm ready to hop in my car, drive to Barnes and Noble to buy the first book in this series. These first five chapters were brimming with lore and magic and I absolutely loved it. Considering I didn't have the context of the first two books, I think that this was an excellent introduction to not only remind the reader of where they were left of in the previous book (seeing as it has been about five years since it was released) and also the in-depth magic system of this world. Nothing was confusing and the story started off with a bang, gripping its readers within the first few chapters and reeling them in quickly to want to read more.

One thing I love about Tomi Adeyemi's writing style is that she talks about her world and the magic within it in a way that gives the reader information without feeling like a lore dump. The rules of her world are perfectly ingrained within her prose, weaved into the story so that you don't even know you are being given a history lesson while it's happening. And her writing is absolutely beautiful. It is clear that she has a vivid imagination and has planned out all the details of her world perfectly. It was such a pleasure to get to read the first five chapters of "Children of Anguish and Anarchy" and I will most certainly be picking up a copy of "Children of Blood and Bone" to see how Zelie and Inan ended up in the precarious position they find themselves in at the start of this novel.

I absolutely loved the first book in the Legacy of Orisha series, Children of Blood and Bone. The second book, Children of Vengeance and Virtue was still good but seemed to drag a bit and felt like there was not a large plot to it. I was excited to get a sample of the third book and so far it is looking like it will be the best one out of the series.

I havent stop screaming. I can't wait for the entire book to be published! I've been a fan since the beginning and can't wait till the movie but this book right here is gonna be gold. I just know it

It's just a taste. I want more! Can't wait for this book to come out and I pray I can get my hands on a copy soon.

Definitely see this being worth the wait. Already looking for this to be the best book I've read all year.

A sampler? Oh no, dear friends. This was a straight up TEASER! A total tease. The five chapters absolutely FLEW by and now I'm left anxiously awaiting the rest of the story. Please, please hurry!

Overall: 5 stars (It LOVED it)

I'll tell my students about: language, rape, sexual elements, physical abuse, mental abuse, trauma,
