Tomi Adeyemi is a Nigerian-American writer and creative writing coach based in San Diego, California. After graduating Harvard University with an honors degree in English literature, she studied West African mythology and culture in Salvador, Brazil. She is the author of Children of Blood and Bone.
Tomi Adeyemi conjures a stunning world of dark magic and danger in her West African-inspired fantasy debut, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.
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.
“The next big thing in literature and film.”―Ebony
“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
“A remarkable achievement.”―Campus Lately
“Tomi Adeyemi is about to take both the literature and film world by storm.”―Jet

太難看瞭。 沒有一個人物是有魅力的。翻譯成中文的話最多給初中生看吧。好氣看這書就是浪費生命。
評分2018/06/13 - 2018/06/17
評分情節過分簡單瞭。能看齣作者的寫作功底還很稚嫩,場景描寫最多兩句,情節轉摺啊最多一句。說好聽是情節緊湊,說難聽是流水賬大雜燴。我是不是太偏頗瞭。。。看後記是以黑人被警察殺害有感而發,感覺這個題材是可以的。內容裏麵也寫瞭兩方都是被加害者和迫害者。一開始我覺得整個內容局限在黑人這裏沒什麼共鳴。後麵一想那為啥看哈波我不覺得彆扭呢?還是白人作傢在文學界的統治地位讓我覺得見慣不怪瞭。黑人女孩看瞭覺得empower瞭也算是達到作者目的瞭。之前被推薦覺得有可能達到哈波的層次,但讀瞭之後覺得嗯。。。就那樣。那個王子有病吧,今天要消滅魔法明天又覺得女主正確,天枰座的人請彆當男主好嗎。歸根結底就是一個自私自利,怕你爹罵你自己想當國王真惡心人。Z永遠的內心活動都是我不行,讓人厭煩。A打頭的女主和Z的哥哥倒是尚可。
評分A book about orixa? Bahia一行覺得這個非洲的神係統很酷但是沒有進入流行文化,今天纔聽說作者也是去瞭巴西受的啓發
