Children of Blood and Bone

Tomi Adeyemi's #1 New York Times bestselling novel is about a quest to restore magic and working against a tyrannical ruler, as well as the effects of oppression and cruelty, the power empathy, and the strength of people working together. Although I thought it had a fantastic arc and the author did an excellent job with characterization and making her characters' feelings palpable, I did find large parts of the middle rather tedious.

Rating: 6.5/10 (Very torn between a 6 and a 7 because there are parts I loved but I also found parts of it dull between the strong beginning and ending sections)
