Reviews

Tomi Adeyem's epic fantasy debut Children of Blood and Bone, was a publishing sensation, and her much-anticipated sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, does not disappoint, as Zelie and Amari discover that bringing magic back to Orisha comes with its own set of problems. Black Panther with magic
Black Girl Magic indeed! . . . it storms the boundaries of imagination.
Infused with rich mythology of west Africa, Adeyemi’s lush world-building and consummate plotting breathes new life into a YA fantasy epic. Themes of oppression and racism resonate all too strongly in today’s political climate. The cliffhanger ending may leave some readers reeling but, rest assured, this is first in a trilogy.
Epic fantasy YA debut of magic and war.
