Book 48: Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi


This book has had a lot of hype in the fantasy community (and beyond) and rightfully so - it was excellent. A good idea, and well-written, a creative take on the whole magical world (or not) idea.  And of course, a thinly veiled (if veiled at all) allegory of black experience in the Western world, but in a good way. (This is the point where my husband will comment on this post, asking if I think he'd enjoy this book - my answer is yes, but I haven't recommended it yet because it's the first in a series and only the first is out and he has a lot of other books on his shelf at the moment.)
