Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
4.0
An amazing story that I hope many, many people will read.
I loved the characters, the world, the animals, all of it! The magic was great and the atmosphere felt very refreshing and new, something I haven't come across often in YA. While it still has a lot of typical YA tropes and repetition of phrases and re-caps, I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.
The main female is wonderfully inspiring and the relationships between the characters have so much emotion. The family elements of the story are excellent and hard-hitting. I also enjoyed that the characters struggled with justice and the decisions on what is right and wrong. Most importantly, the story highlights the destruction of discrimination, and the impact it has on families and communities. It's such an important issue right now and, as the author says, something we need to rise up against.
Overall, a solid YA Fantasy book with an impactful message.
