Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.

Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.

But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.

Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the enemy.
 


MY MINI REVIEW 

An epic fantasy not to missed. This mesmerizing debut is one of my favorite reads of 2018! Adeyemi's beautiful writing, mixed with a pacing that makes you feel as though you read a book half this one's size, will have you longing for the next book in this series. This book is like watching an action packed movie, who's unforgettable characters, beautiful world building, magical elements leaving you feeling as though you stepped into a believable world you didn't want to leave. 

Don't let the size of this book fool you. Adeyemi's writing is so well paced that I felt like I was reading a novel half it's size. This book had me hooked from the moment I started it, and it was incredibly hard to put it down. What an addicting read. Everything about this book effortlessly springs to life on the pages. I absolutely loved all that Adeyemi gave me in this story, and taught me as a reader. 

If you haven't yet, make sure you pre-order this book, or at least go pick it up when it's out TOMORROW! My full 5 star review will be up tomorrow! 

FIND YOUR MAJI CLAN



One of the interesting things about Children of Blood and Bone is the mix of the clans. There's a lot of rich history, and magical elements tied to each of them. This cool chart above will help readers determine when clan they are apart of. I am of the TIDER CLANTiders can manipulate water and ice. I would seriously love to have this ability. Each clan has a unique ability. What clan are you apart of? Find out which Maji Clan you belong to by using the information above. You'll add your birth month, and your birthday date (the numbered day you were born on) together, and than find your number above. Your number will tell you which clan you're in. We would love it if you left us a comment below telling us which clan you're in.
