All I can simply say after reading this Sneak Peek sampler of Children of Blood and Bone. Is that I need the complete book now!!! It is such a good read!! love the characters and the world that the author has created with west african mythology and culture influence. March 6th can’t come fast enough!!!
Definitely, going to read the entire book. The sneak peek was interesting.
I wish I could rate this book 100 stars. I haven’t felt this way about a story is such a long time and I was truely moved. I highly HIGHLY recommend listening to the audio book, the narrator is INCREDIBLE!!! and who else cried during the authors notes? Because I sure did. If you haven’t read this book yet, I urge you to.
I need the rest of the book right now! So good!
**I received the 6 chapter sampler from NetGalley for an honest review**I have to wait until MARCH?! :-) This preview was the first 6 chapters of the book and I'm definitely already hooked. In this preview the world-building was done well - I felt like I was getting a really good picture of this fantastical world and how it all works together. The characters introduced thus far are enjoyable and I'm incredibly interested to see what happens... !
Well, it's hard to judge a book by its sneak peek. The storytelling is fairly exciting and compelling, the setting in Africa is a welcome change from pretty much every other book I read, but some things are a bit much... like the strange creatures that are supposedly like giant cats and that can be used as mounts? Also, the escape was a bit heavy on the deus ex machina...
Amazing bookI loved how the author paints the scenes. I enjoy the history that is told and how it relates to the main characters.
Richly written and beautifully told the story of Zélie who is a descendant of the diviners, maji who had the magic to heal, destroy, or summone the elements to do their will. But eleven years ago all the magic disappeared over night and Zélie's mother was killed for the power she held. Zelie has been secretly training in her village to be a fighter with other girls her age. As she is returning home she finds out that her father has nearly drowned trying to catch fish to help pay the tax collecto...
It was a good startIf I had known it was only the beginnings of the story and I would have to buy more books to continue the story I wouldn't have even bothered.If you don't mind TO BE CONTINUED then you might enjoy the book, but I hate having a book not be complete
I found this book completely randomly at the library. I gave it a shot, thinking I might just read a few pages and then putting it back on my shelf for months. But once I opened it, I couldn't put it down. I read it while I was walking, in class, at lunch break, in the train, late at night, etc. I was completely into it, I fell into Adeyemi's world and I loved it. Her imagination has no limits, her characters are very loveable and interesting, her world is so unique. I read the first and the sec...
I have never been this enraged when reading a book. So mad that my head started to hurt. Almost every page pissed me off. This book is full of cruelty, racism,and etc. The so called king in this book is the cause of it all! The story is very good though,you don't want to stop reading and it makes you want to know what happens next! I love the main character Zélie so much. She's strong and not afraid to speak her mind! She's a great fighter and super smart. I highly recommend this book!
I very much enjoyed this book. Without spoiling too much, I will say it has a little bit of everything; magic, oppression from monarchy, cycles of violence, etc. I'm not drawn to YA books as much as I used to be but this one had enough themes that are reflected in our everyday society that made it hard to put down. I will be definitely picking up the sequel and will add this to my permanent bookshelf. I can't wait.
Excellent first few chapters. Want to finish the whole book!I started reading something similar to this; but never got to finish the series. I get upset with myself when I do this.The characters are fresh & the ideas are clear. If you're different, you are going to pay with your life.Differences should be celebrated not something to be ashamed of because life would be extremely boring if we were ALL the SAME!
