Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut Children of Blood and Bone.
They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise.
Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled – Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden.
Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic – and her growing feelings for an enemy.
The movie of Children of Blood and Bone is in development at Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions with the incredible Karen Rosenfelt and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight, Maze Runner, The Fault In Our Stars) producing it.

Helt utrolig bok med gode karakterer, kjempespennende magi og et viktig budskap!

Bokas ulike stemmer viser hvordan traumer kan få mennesker til å reagere som de gjør: ulikt, med sinne, med frustrasjon, med svik, med tvil, med kjærlighet, med stolthet, med besluttsomhet, med vaklende vilje. Boka skildrer en tilværelse svært ulik min, men i epilogen plasseres handlingen i den virkelige verden. Det knuste meg, men gjorde boka enda viktigere. Grusomme og detaljerte volds- og torturscener, men også nydelige og varme kjærlighetsscener. En reise der alle følelsene blir brukt.

Syns boken var vanskelig å følge med på. Den fenget rett og slett ikke, som er synd for jeg hadde veldig lyst å like den. Vurderer å prøve å lese den selv

Litt irriterende karakterer av og til, klagende og litt mye rotet til plass av frykt og negativ. Men ellers veldig bra.Glimrende innleser.

FANTASTISK innleser!Bra plott, relativt god «world-building», men de mellommenneskelige forholdene fikk ikke nok rom, så det blir litt insta-vennskap/insta-love. Og en del av bifigurene introduseres litt brått, og føles litt som pappfigurer.

Not interesting to hear. Can’t finish the book. I’m sorry but i don’t like the reader. :(

Spennende og nokså uvanlig setting. Likte veldig godt det kulturelle bakteppe.

Amazing reader, terrible novel. If your emotional, 12 year old kid wrote a story, it would be this one. Bahni Turpin couldn't even save it.
