Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is fantasy that received a lot of hype. The land where Zelie lives once was a happy place. But the king has banished magic and people are without power, without hope. Zelie has a chance to bring magic back, and with the help of a rogue princess, can she give her people hope again? or will the king reign forever? I heard so much about this book I just had to read it and am glad I did!! Zelie is a great character. The story line is such that you never know what will happen next! The ending is great and makes me look forward to book 2.

Teaser from page 29:
They broke him that night, battered his heart and shattered his soul. Maybe he would've recovered if he hadn't woken to find Mama's corpse bound in lack chains.
