Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
5.0
There’s a lot that I could say about this book but I will try to keep it as brief as possible. To sum it up, I loved this book and it kept me so engaged. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to fly through 500+ pages. Despite its size, the writing and pacing are well done.
This story centers around the land of Orïsha, a kingdom that was full of magic wielders (Maji) with powers that could summon the dead, ignite flames, and more… until the night they were wiped out on the orders of a ruthless king. As a result, Zélie Adebola was left without a mother.
Now Zélie has the chance to bring magic back and take down the kingdom with the help of a rogue princess, Amari. This read was truly exhilarating from start to finish and packed with so much action. It’s also written from multiple points of view, including that of Amari and Zélie.
Finally, I am super excited that the awesomeness of this book has been widely recognized and a film adaption is on the way!
