Brenda Waworga's Reviews > The Truth of the Aleke

“The Lies of The Ajungo” (1st book of The Forever Desert series) was one of my favorite read last year, it was only 100ish pages short book (a novella) but it was so wellwritten with great characterization, amazing worldbuilding and engaging plot.. It truely gave me amazing experience even tho ofcourse it felt short.. now Moses Ose Utomi back with the second book “The Truth Of The Aleke” and i immediately dive into it the second i got the ebook! and it was JUST AS GOOD AS BOOK 1 😍😍 Moses Ose Utomi did it again!!

The event on this book happened 500 years after the event on “The Lies Of The Ajungo” This time we follow Osi, a young man who just want to contribute to his city “The City Of Truth” and became a warrior like his father, The City Of Truth is in war with The Aleke, evil warlord who want to conquered them. Raised with story about how cruel but clever The Aleke is Osi accidently choosen as a “Truthseeker” a special warrior of 4 with magical ability & skill to fight The Aleke… BUT soon Osi learned that war is actually far from simple, his enemy also own their complex reason to attack them

“I will not help you win this war,” he said. “But I will help you bring peace.”

This is a story about sacrifice, truth, power, action and being true to yourself, i really wish this series got more recognition it deserved and i cannot wait to see what’s Moses Ose Utomi has in store for the next book 😍😍
