Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
4.0
3.5
So this book kind of reminded me of Candide... the characters constantly went from one ridiculously horrible scenario to the next and I think a lot of those plot points were taken directly from other books (Harry Potter and the Hunger Games come to mind). But while I thought the plot wasn't that original, the writing style was great, and overall I thought it was a fantastic debut, which is why I rounded up my rating.
