They killed my mother.They took our magic.
They tried to bury us.
Now we rise.
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers and her growing feelings for an enemy.

We are the people who fill the kings prisons, the people our kingdom turns into laborers. The people Orïshans try to chase out of their features, outlawing our lineage as if white hair and dead magic were a social stain.I really dont know how to begin this review and Im pretty certain that this is mostly due to the fact that it seems to be unpopular opinion time. *lol* Truth be told, this rarely happens when I read a book. If my friends say they loved it, I usually end up loving it too and whenThis was a gripping read. The world building here is phenomenal. The main characters are richly drawn and I was invested in each of their struggles. This book is very action packed. So much is happening! The ending is such a cliffhanger and I want to know whats next. This is well worth reading and such a strong debut. Tzarin could be more developed. Who is he beyond his sisters protector? At times the story felt overly dramatic. Zelie and Inan were deep in their feelings all the time and it

PSA FOR TODAY.THIS BOOK IS OUT NOW!!Do your shelves and soul a favour is all I'm saying.You're welcome.--------------------------------------[4.5 stars] Thank you Macmillan Books for this arc.Honestly, I don't know how to review this book. My emotions are everywhere at the moment and as much as I wanted to write something comprehensive, I doubt that'll happen. Like the author has stated, this is a story inspired by her West-African heritage, which seeps through the writing and the world and the
Truly, I dont keep up with an authors every move to make sure theyre always on their best behavior. Some of the best authors in the business are dreadful people.But I have to say that Tomi Adeyemis recent call out of Nora Roberts on Twitter, accusing this well known & well loved author of capitalizing on her recent bestsellers fame by copying the title? Its not a good look. Its taken the wind out of my sails a bit, and now I am not so excited to read this book. Since I own a copy, Ill leave
UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT!!!!! I think 99% of my friends loved this book, and trust me. I wanted to love it, too. The diverse cast of characters, a land of magic, themes of revenge, and fantasy- the ideas were all gripping. I thought I was going to love Zélie and her badass nature, and that there was going to be all the elements of a wonderful fantasy book. I thought I would find a new favourite YA fantasy! mild spoilers ahead, major are marked. Thats not to say this book was horrible . There
"We are all children of blood and bone. All instruments of vengeance and virtue."*Insert standing ovation here. Wow. This was incredible! I'm always cautious going into a hyped book because you never know what you're going to get. I've arrived at the point in my reading experience where I'm feeling a bit "been there, done that" with YA fantasy. Not to say I don't enjoy it, but up until now, it's been a hot minute since I've found a truly unique setting and cast that's blown me away. I'm a white
