Nerdy Romantics Podcast

Children of Blood and Bone is a great fantasy for YA and adults


Listen Later

Y. M. Nelson and guest Staci discuss the folklore, the appeal, and the plot of the best selling fantasy Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

Topics we discuss:

  • First impressions of the book
  • The lack of African folklore in American culture
  • Zelie and the heroine's journey
  • Racism and Colorism in Children of Blood and Bone
  • Growing into a leader - The reluctant hero trope
  • Coming of Age for other main characters and their arcs
  • How the premise-getting magic back-fits in with the story
