Description

Winner of the Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year

This program is narrated by acclaimed reader Bahni Turpin, whose past work includes The Hate U Give and The Underground Railroad

"Bahni Turpin's breathtaking narration of this exhilarating novel will keep listeners rooted to their seats, listening intently...an audiobook not to be missed." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)

In Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut.

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.

Praise for Children of Blood and Bone:

"[Narrator Bahni Turpin] excels at customizing her voice to capture the unique personalities of each character.... This excellent, refreshing performance of Adeyemi's exciting debut is recommended for all collections where fantasy is popular." (Booklist, starred review)

"One of the biggest young adult fiction debut book deals of the year. Aside from a compelling plot and a strong-willed heroine as the protagonist, the book deals with larger themes, like race and power, that are being discussed in real time." (Teen Vogue)

Amazing!

Fantastic story. It evoked so many different emotions in me, such a powerful novel and the narrator really brought it to life and authenticated it with her beautiful accent. Amazing how she could create such distinctly different voices for both male and female characters. This novel complete with the riveting epilogue transported me to a higher level of consciousness each time I listened to it.

Would recommend.

Great performance by the narrator. She's able to convey the emotion in the writing. It's a long book but your ears do not get fatigued from the performance.

Superb story by Tomi.

Beautiful Book

Stellar addition to my audiobook library. Fantasy turned on it’s head. The book deals with exposure to oppression the method of problem solving and so much more. I look forward to reading more.

Amazing Setting; Characters need some work

Really interesting setting and the magic works. Really interesting premise and it has some great moments.

Falls a little short with character consistency (with the exception of Amari), but a fairly good story and message.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

This book was an emotional coaster connecting the listener to realities that are happening in our world today. So much so it was sometimes hard to continue, but I'm very glad I did.

Very good.

Darker overall than Harry Potter. But very well drawn world and characters. Was slow at times. But the moral dilemma that crept in the last third of the book made for an interesting internal conflict.

Bahni Turpin, the audio book narrator, was incredible!! She definitely helped to sell the world and characters with full-on African accents that were even differentiated by class. Even her male voices were well done! Will probably follow this series.

Say on the car and was late too often bc I could not stop listening!

I was captivated with the characters and the storyline. Such a good tale of adventure, majic and intrigue that I could not wait to have stolen listening moments, so I stole them myself!
