I like how the issues of social media and how the media as whole perceives or creates certain storylines to fit their agenda. I liked how she and Tavia come together at the end to fight something bigger than the drama between the two of them.She’s out of her element and we get to see her interact with family who she hasn’t seen in awhile, we also learn a little more about how Eloko connect to their Ancestors. I liked that Naema leaves Portland, where Eloko are well known and visits her family in Arizona. I think I got a better understanding of what Eloko means from this book, but still, not totally, not even Naema knows much about her magic as an Eloko is seems.Naema is the “mean girl” from the first book but this is her story now, and I like how she confronts her struggle about being Eloko and a black girl. She is flawed but that’s why I liked learning about her character. But Naema is vocal, she knows who she is, and how she wants to be perceived at online and in person. I actually enjoyed this book more than I did A Song Below Water and I think because Naema’s voice is so strong whereas in the previous book, Effie and Tavia almost blended together.Absolutely love the cover! Both covers for this series are so beautiful.
When a new, flourishing segment of Naema’s online supporters start targeting black girls, however, Naema must discover the true purpose of her magical voice. But Naema knows the truth and is determined to build herself back up - no matter what. No one understands her side: not her boyfriend, not her friends, nor her Eloko community. Everyone loves her - well, until she’s cast as the awful person who exposed Tavia’s secret siren powers.
Teen influencer Naema Bradshaw has it all: she’s famous, privileged, has “the good hair”- and she’s an Eloko, a person who’s gifted with a song that woos anyone who hears it. Morrow’s A Chorus Rises, a brilliant contemporary fantasy set in the world of A Song Below Water.
