A review by sara_m_martins
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
4.0
(might change this from 4 to 5)
such a great story, fantastic world building, with magnificent commentary on the BLM movement, racism and police brutality.
i couldn't help myself in comparing this to Avatar The Last Airbender, particularly after they arrive at the temple. (mayhaps Incidentally, the same point i was really won over by the story.) I say this as an amazing point in favour, as ATLA is still one of my favourite stories.
But it definitely doesn't feel like ATLA repackaged at all, alright?! this story goes into SUCH a different path!
the characters and their individual journeys are 5 stars! The building of story and world and magic is just exceptionally done: keeping you on your toes without making you feel like you're lost.
