Explanation Toward Books Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orïsha #1)
They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now we rise. Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were 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 an enemy.

2nd read: August 2019. Audiobook5 starsReread in anticipation of Children of Virtue and Vengeance!1st read: May-April 2018. Physical5 starsAn oversimplified extra-tropey YA on steroids.Hmm, where does one begin?Sooo, does the book that made headlines well before it was even published live up to its hype?

"We are all children of blood and bone. All instruments of vengeance and virtue."*Insert standing ovation here. Wow. This was incredible! I'm always cautious going into a hyped book because you never know what you're going to get. I've arrived at the point in my reading experience where I'm feeling a bit "been there, done that" with YA fantasy. Not to say I don't enjoy it, but up until now, it's been a hot minute since I've found a truly unique setting and cast that's blown me away. I'm a white

I tried it, I didn't like it, I wrote about my feelings. What do you want? A five-star review? Write your own. 😊Note Pt. 2: Seriously. I don't want to argue with you dissenters about MY opinion. I was honest about how I felt. End. Of. Story. If you're going to come on here to argue with me about something in this
