I've finished Children of Blood and Bone and I feel satisfied knowing Saran is dead.
But where the fuck is Inan? I never got any confirmation of what happened to his dumbass. (He made me so mad I swear)
Reading Saran's death was one of my favorite parts of the book tbh. Have you started the second book yet? CoBaB made me so angry at him but CoVaV made me feel kind of bad for him, like every time he was there I just wanted him to take a nap or eat a meal. Dude was stressed as hell. I was still mad at him though lmao

You know I kinda hated the way Zelie was depicted with Eurocentric hair in the cover of Children of Blood & Bone series, but then I realized that’s kinda the point. Her hair contains her magic so by the time her wild mane of curls returns to her by the end of the book it means she has her power is back and I think that’s a beautiful message to send to little Black girls. Still hate the way that message went right over fan artists heads

Every time I see fancasts for Children of Blood and Bone, I’m always disappointed with the lack of consideration for Nigerian actors, especially considering Tomi’s Nigerian heritage and the obvious Yoruba influences in the books.

I'm reading Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi (2nd book in the Legacy of Orisha series) and looking in the tags for this is such a trashfire, because all anyone says about the character Inan is how much they want him to d!e and to suffer for the hurt he's caused. Which is a shame, because it's clear Adeyemi has taken great care to write Inan as a deeply flawed person with his heart in the right place, who unfortunately makes poor choices with harsh consequences. He is the epitome of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".
We get his POV in both books so we know his thought process--we know he's trying to fight "for the greater good" and be a good ruler protecting his country. We see him quickly undergo the process of unlearning prejudice instilled in him since birth and abuse from his father. And then try to reform the monarchy from the inside out, but struggle with doing so because of the pressure, influence, and WAR going on. As if it could be reformed overnight. Inan is a tragic character. He is always so close to doing good rather than harm, but it fails.
It would be such a dissatisfying ending for him to be killed by Zelie. What would he have learned? Will that truly bring Zelie and Amari peace? How does that heal the hurt that's been caused by the monarchy? Especially with a character like Inan who wants to help and to heal.

Me: Wow Adeyemi takes a lot of inspiration from ATLA in her writing and all. Inan is probably inspired by Zuko maybe he’ll get a good character arc like Zuko did!
Me by page 275 of the second book: Just kidding I hope Inan dies a super painful death fuck that little bitch.

“Not like that," Na'imah instructs, shaking her head so hard that a shower of orange flower petals fall from her curls. Dragonflies orbit her head as she repositions a maji's hands around her cheetanaire's temples. "Feel the connection.”

By John Boyega
When someone told me about Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone, describing it as a cross between Harry Potter, the Chronicles of Narnia and Yoruba gods, I was shocked. It sounded like the best combination ever: How had I not heard of it? I read it, then I read it again, then I listened to the audiobook. I was being introduced to a world I couldn’t have imagined before. The characters were larger than life but with very human problems and issues. And the novel spoke to my self-identity and culture as a Nigerian, in its social commentary and in its depiction of both magic and oppression.
It’s so important to have representation within books like this. In school, I realized that only when my teacher considered my point of view did learning become easier. When my kids are growing up, they’re going to have these new classic heroes from an environment they know.
Tomi is the god of ideas. She’s inspiring a lot of young people to write. She creates the very world that we as actors get to play in. And the big-screen adaptation will hire a lot of people and bring more representation to our industry—all that comes directly from Tomi’s imagination. She is going to be very powerful when it comes to bringing stories and ideas to the forefront.
I would absolutely drop everything to be in the film. If I missed the opportunity to be a part of it, it would be like missing history.
