this is how you start a series! this is how you introduce a world!! CBOB is a quintessential fantasy read that i will always recommend.  Adeyemi masterfully writes the beauty of magic and the land of Orisha, action and adventure, the trauma of the characters, the generational pain of a people, genocide and societal oppression, grief, young romance, a love letter to nigerian spirituality, the wonders of YA, and i still might’ve missed something in this list! CBOB is everything and more. I will forever stand by this book.
