Story
After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji but also some nobles with magic ancestry. Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as strong and magical as they are. When Amari's mother forms an army of royals with newly awakened powers, Zélie fights to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.

Now Simi must journey to the Supreme Creator to make amends - a journey of vengeful gods, treacherous lands and legendary creatures. If she fails, she risks not just the fate of all Mami Wata, but also the world as she knows it.

She is saved by a mysterious woman who tells Deka of her true nature: She is an Alaki, a near-immortal with exceptional gifts. The stranger offers her a choice: Fight for the Emperor, with others just like her, or be destroyed....

Summary
Winner of Audiobook of the Year at the 2019 Audie Awards
Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut Children of Blood and Bone.
They killed my mother.They took our magic.They tried to bury us. Now we rise.
Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden.
Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy.
The movie of Children of Blood and Bone is in development at Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions with the incredible Karen Rosenfelt and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight, Maze Runner, The Fault in Our Stars) producing it.

Great story but Yoruba Speaker please!
Great story. I really enjoyed the book but I can't understand why a Yoruba speaking person did not read the Yoruba parts of the book. I couldn't understand what Bahni was saying and this was very frustrating not to mention disruptive to the flow of the story. To get full applaud, please get a Yoruba speaker to read the Yoruba parts. Thank you.

Wonderful story - horrible narrating
Children of blood and bone was such a captivating story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and following all of the characters unfold. I can't wait to read the next book.
However, something has to be said for the narrating performance of this story. The entire story happens in West Africa, Nigeria to be exact. The gross mispronounciations of ALL Yoruba words in this book is unacceptable. A lot of the incantation parts of the book had by far lost its meanings. What annoys me most is that publishers would never let English words be bastardised in the same manner and still go ahead with production so why is it acceptable for our stories? Our culture?
Please for the next book, let the narrator get coaching for how to pronounce the words properly so as to better promote the culture and heritage being explored.

Wrong narrator for a nice story
I couldn’t get past the narrator’s accent and pronunciation of the Yoruba words. Surely they could have gotten a native Yoruba speaker to do the reading? The cringe-worthy pronunciation greatly detracted from my enjoyment of what was a very promising story. I hope they don’t make the same mistake with the movie.

I am so disappointed in this already!!!
I have read this book and loved the story. the imagination and creativity splendid! I had such high hopes for the audible! no offence to the reader, but could you not find a west African to read it? a Yoruba to pronounce the names and places properly? and the persons that did the male voices. please someone fire them! the lack of effort put into this book took so much from the books essence. An American faking a Nigerian accent is always disappointing. and at times she even forgets to fake and reads as an American. Kill me please!

A stunning story, characters, scenery... I felt like I was really there in Orisha. The world building and descriptions of magic are wonderful. I couldn’t stop listening. And the narration is just incredible, I have listened to a lot of audiobooks but the narration was the best I have ever heard, full of emotion and perfect for the story. I would recommend to any fantasy or YA fan. I just haven’t heard / read anything quite like it! Now I can’t wait for the second book 🙂

Good book, BUT i’m trying to hold out till the end...
As a reader who absolutely loves books and stories based on African heritage and culture. I'm struggling a bit with this book. There's part in this book that is slightly sluggish and you almost want the scene to end FAST!
I feel this book has a great story, just a little dragged out in certain parts.
The mispronunciation of Yoruba words is also very extremely frustrating to hear. It's worthwhile this audiobook is re-record to really deliver the cultural context of this book and deliver it at its full capacity.

2.5 stars
I'll be honest: I struggled to finish this book. I don't know if it was the narration with the fake accent and odd pacing or if it was the story or both.
I appreciate the background of the story to raise important matters regarding racism and colourism, and applaud the author for that. It was nice to read a fantasy novel that wasn't set in an all white Medieval Europe or even Far Eastern setting.
I was underwhelmed by the storylines, magic system and character development. I didn't fall in love with the characters and didn't feel like I "Just have to listen to one more chapter". In fact, I fell asleep a lot during this story, and rhaytt doesn't normally happen to me.
All this said and done, I did like the last 30 minutes.

Performance was terrible
As a Nigerian, listening to every single native word butchered just irritated me endlessly. I don't know who is in charge of hiring the narrator , but they did an awful job. Hire the right person for the job. Get a native Yoruba speaker.
The story itself is just average, it's your usual fantasy genre storyline based in a made up land called Orisha but which is really just Nigeria.
The author's note at the end however, was unexpected and makes a bonus for the whole book.

Interesting story
I like the magical story and the reflection of the modern world through a mythological world.
I did have some issues with the reader. Although she had a fantastic lyrical quality the reading speed was so very slow that I ended up listening at one and a half speed. It is probably the fact that I not familiar with the accent but to me all the voices of the different characters sounded exactly the same.

A very enjoyable story with good characters and a great performance by the narrator.
Like the vast majority of YA novels the romance was by far the weakest part of the story. The mc didn’t need a romantic interest and in my opinion would have been a stronger character without it. Reduced my rating by one star because of it.
Well worth the listen and now looking forward to the next in the series.

A Mesmerizing Story
This book about magic is magic itself. Tomi Adeyemi's gift is turning everything into mystery and force. I enjoyed every bit of it and I am looking forward to getting the next books in the trilogy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Tomi.
A special comment concerning the author's note at the end of the book: may God and humankind never allow genocide again--starting now! That note brought tears to my eyes.

Unforgettable
Many feelings awaken and burst out while listening to this incredible story of losses and encounters.
The world of Orisha is magical and the people in it become one with the reader and her voice. Bahni Turpin has become a favourite voice in my home. With the interpretation of Buhni and the words written by Tomi Adeyemi makes Children of Bone and Blood a book to keep home and in your heart.
