Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
5.0

OKAY. WOW.

This book was huge and important. Aside from being wildly entertaining, this book touched on so many important subjects, such as colorism and police brutality.
While maintaining a traditional fantasy vibe, it did a lot to break away from the traditional fantasy cycle. I loved loved loved the all black cast of characters and the non traditional settings, as well as the spin put on magic. Tomi's world building was phenomenal and I can't wait to see more of it. (Also more curls=stronger magic is my favorite thing okay.)
I just really loved this book. I cannot wait for book 2.
