A review by kiyamarie
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
4.0
I will not let my fear silence the truth.
I really loved how this book teemed with so much life. The vivid descriptions of the world, the story, what the story represents—all of this is what gives this book a high rating for me. I loved the concept and it was nice to see that this contained none of the dangers of a single story (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie).
The characters of the story gave me life. They felt real—even the moments that I didn’t like.
There were moments in the novel where the characters were beginning to annoy me: Zelie and Inan had their moments where I just wanted them to shut up, but I did love them. All of the characters. All the ones struggle and fighting and trying to just live.
It’s a story about three people, who have many different things to learn about the world and themselves, trying to bring magic back. Stories about coming together for a different future, raising questions about if that is even possible, what the risks and potential consequences could look like.
I loved it and honestly I’m ready for the next installment.
