Perfect for you if...

You love high-stakes fantasy with a protagonist fighting systemic oppression and want to see magic systems tied to cultural identity.
You're drawn to morally complex characters and enemies-to-lovers tension that develops alongside world-changing stakes.
You appreciate lush worldbuilding inspired by real cultures rather than generic European fantasy settings.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels, as this is book one of a trilogy with significant cliffhangers that demand you continue.
You want a slower, introspective narrative, because Adeyemi moves quickly between action sequences and emotional beats.
You're looking for lighthearted fantasy, as this deals directly with genocide, loss, and the trauma of systemic violence.

About this book

Zélie Adebola remembers when magic flowed through Orïsha. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and her Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But magic disappeared the night a ruthless king ordered the killing of maji, leaving Zélie without her mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to restore magic and challenge the monarchy. With help from a rogue princess, she must evade the crown prince, who is determined to eliminate magic permanently. Zélie must outwit him while navigating dangers across Orïsha—snow leoponaires prowl the land and vengeful spirits haunt the waters. Her greatest struggle may be controlling her own powers and her conflicting feelings for an enemy. Children of Blood and Bone is the first book in the Legacy of Orïsha series.
