Fiction

Sophie and I recently read and LOVED the same book, so I thought it was only fair for us to jointly review it. Our enthusiasm for Children of Blood and Bone knows no bounds!

M: Holy world building, Batman! This book is fantastic. The world Adeyemi has created is so detailed, the characters are wonderful, even the animals are amazingly described. Add to that the fact that this is a clear allegory to our times and then sit back in awe that this future YA classic is a debut.

There is nothing I love more than a book list, and a book list made up of 100 titles chosen by people across the country as their favorite book - there's nothing better!

Furyborn is the latest fantasy novel by Claire Legrand.  When I first saw the blurb for this book I added it to my TBR and scooped up a copy as quickly as possible.

"Two queens will rise. One with the power to save the world. One with the power to destroy it."

That’s all I needed to hear to know I had to read this book!  

The story is told in two points of view, that of Rielle Dardenne and Eliana Ferracora, two fierce women living more than a thousand years apart.
