In Otera, 17yo Deka and her group of Alaki women warriors, set out to free Melanis who is the Light of the Alaki. They find her being burned in the temple. Once freed, male warriors enter the temple to stop her escape and to kill the alaki that helped her. As soon as Melanis is freed from the fire, her body begins to heal and her wings sprout just in time to save everyone from the vicious warriors but then they resurrect and fight again. The alaki can’t fathom how they’re coming back to life but the Goddesses tell them it’s the power of the golden throne, the Angoro. Deka will face the unknown and discover more about herself than she has ever imagined as they search for the mysterious Angoro.
I feel that the story is drawn out. I do like the ending. The characters are a nice variety of personalities. Deka is dark skinned, Brita is pale skinned and the following are all mentioned: copper skin, midnight dark skin, reddish brown skin, bluish purple skin, and bluish black skin.
