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
