The Seventh Pour: The Children of Anarchy and Anguish by Tomi Adeyemi
We’ve come to the end—but this one didn’t go quietly.
In the final episode of our Legacy of Orïsha series, we dive into Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi—and it’s a whirlwind from beginning to end. From explosive pacing to emotional swings, Book 3 pushed us all in different directions. Some of us closed the book... let’s just say, with more feelings than fulfillment. And yes, a little heat came through the mic as we tried to process what really landed—and what left us asking, was that how it had to end?
This conversation goes beyond plot twists and character arcs. We reflect on the series as a whole—what this trilogy offered, what it stirred in us, and what conversations it sparked about Black identity, memory, leadership, and the cost of being chosen. We also revisit what we may have missed the first time: the nuances, the quiet symbolism, and the spaces where the story mirrors real-world truths we’re still unpacking.
As always, we’re sipping something rich, bold, and complex—because how else do you toast a saga that gave us magic, grief, revolution, and resurrection?
Come for the book. Stay for the conversation.
