Publisher: MacMillan Audio

Pub. Date: 2018

Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

Length: 18 hours, 9 minutes

Rating: 4 of 5 Stars

After reading very little young adult fantasy for a while, it was wonderful to read Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, read by Bahni Turpin. Inspired by West African mythology, Adeyemi created a world where the magic-users, Magi, have been oppressed and magic has been almost wiped off the face of the earth. Zélie remembers what the monarchy did to her family and her people and when magic disappeared. Now that she has the chance to bring magic back, she has to outrun the crown prince with the help of her brother and a princess. She must also gain control of her powers if she has any hope of bringing it back.
