The November meeting of the First Thursday Book Club will take place via Zoom. We will discuss Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

About the Book:

With five starred reviews, Tomi Adeyemi’s West African-inspired fantasy debut, and instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, conjures a world of magic and danger.

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.
