Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

5.0

Why did it take me so long to finally read this book? I love this book and every single part of it.

This book grabbed my attention from chapter one and I’m still craving more of its story after over 500+ pages. I adored the characters that were featured in this novel. They felt so 3d and complex and I can really understand them and feel their emotions at the point where I can imagine them actually being real. I loved the characters with all of hearts and I can see their motives and goals without being so confused on why there doing what their doing.

This was the first time I have ever read a book that was inspired by African Mythology and learning bits about the history was really fun and I loved the way it intertwined with the story. I’ll definitely be reading more inspired African Mythology after reading Children of Blood and Bone.

The world felt so real and I can really imagine myself within the world, of course there can be some improvement with it but as a whole I really enjoyed the world and how it’s history and it’s people intertwined with one another.

The last 100 pages torn me apart, I can really feel all of their pain and watching all of what they did slowly going to hell was definitely a ride and gave me multiple goosebumps.

To conclude this review, I loved the story and would definitely recommend everyone to read this.
