Children of Blood and Bone

Overall, this is a great book. It's made even better when you read Toni Adeyemi's inspiration—a novel meant to empower African Americans and shed light on the Black Lives Matter Movement.

From a fantasy reader standpoint, I found parts of this book to happen too quickly, and sometimes found it hard to sympathize with the characters—which is really strange considering how long it is (over 500 pgs)

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy YA and fantasy (but not high fantasy). I am definitely excited to read the sequel!
