C. T. Rwizi
In the final riveting installment of C. T. Rwizi’s Scarlet Odyssey series, Salo’s death leaves his friends reeling—and a magical world in turmoil.
Salo is dead—and the world he left behind is at war.
In the midst of their grief, Salo’s closest clan members begin to experience strange phenomena: visions visit one, while seizures plague another. The clan’s new mystic divines that an arcane signal from the far west is calling, so they set out toward the desert—and encounter a caravan of travelers following the same mysterious call.
Meanwhile, Salo’s loyal allies Ilapara and Tuk embark on a bold mission to raise Salo from the dead. And their sorcery works...or seems to. While the resurrected Salo ignores his friends’ warnings and forms dark alliances, Ilapara and Tuk struggle with their growing unease, even as they follow Salo westward on a quest in which the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
With magic spiraling into mayhem, is this the end of Salo’s saga—or an epic new beginning?

Critic reviews
“Rwizi weaves multiple plots together as he’s done so well in the prior novels.”—Booklist
1. This is a sci-fi, fantasy book. Most people going into these types of books, even when they’re YA labelled, knows to ‘expect anything’. That’s the definition of a fantasy: anything can happen; the rules of one’s every day experience and imaginings either fit in or have to make space for someone else’s creation that falls outside the bounds of what most contemporary and conformist people know and are willing to consider, let alone accept as possible.
2. All of the betrayal, treachery, abuse, outright lies told, violence, murder, rape, and sex discussed and alluded to being had (consensually or paid) that took up the first 2 books and part of the start of this third…was more family friendly than two men sitting together actually and in dreams, talking to one another, loving each other with how they think of and care for one another? (And intercourse between them was only ever implied and alluded to, not outright described, until more than halfway through the final book.)
3. Wanting this book to be labelled “LGBTQ” just because it has two definitely gay characters (who spend more time thinking and dreaming of each other together, and aren’t even in each others proximity physically until the last hour of a 21 hour narrative), seems the equivalent of wanting this book to be specifically categoried under “African women’s sci-fi, fantasy literature” as African women feature a heck of a lot more prominently and frequently in central roles many find atypical to African women. Let’s just forget the entire cast of all other characters just because there are two gay ones. It’s like declaring the world is a daffodil and everything in it is daffodils just because daffodils exist. It’s sci-fi, fantasy; everything is possible in the genre.
4. Love and respect, when not in a heteronormative context, is family unfriendly. Apparently. Whereas the manipulative and highly sexual relationship of the hetero prince and his demon affiliated wife who used to prostitute herself to survive (not knocking the survival prostitution, just highlighting the demonic affiliation part) is far more family friendly. Got it. (What kind of family…nevermind.)
While this was not my favourite installation in the series, it ties up loose ends and ends as a set of loose ends. Kind of like life, it goes on and sometimes with no neat resolution to some things and events. Definitely worth a read or listen for the reflection on leadership, trust, interpersonal relationships, love, family, character evolution (not development as that happens throughout the series) and how dramatic change affects personal identity and notions of self, empathy, cruelty, forgiveness, and much more.

I do not recommend these stories as family friendly.
the third book in particular had long pauses in the action and was actually difficult to finish. I wanted to give a fair review but ended up speeding the audio to 1.5x to get through the story faster.
I believe the author started an excellent story line that was an engaging context for a sci-fi/fantasy type environment that could take place on the plains of Africa. I believe the author to be talented as a story maker, but was extremely disappointed this was something I could not add to my personal collection because of the adult content.
if you want to write about sexuality, or even same sex relationships, that's fine, but please mark it as such so that someone won't be under the impression this is a good family oriented story.
this title should be listed under LGBTQ
