Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for providing a free e-arc of this book.
I really enjoyed this book! The magic system was fantastic, the world building was great, and the characters were all so interesting! The relationships were a little on the cheesey side, but more so due to it being a YA. If the book was adult it might have been pulled off a little better.
You really feel for the main character throughout the story and the ending will leave you on a cliff hanger wanting more! I have also read the second book and it is great as well, though not as good as the first and still need to pick up the final one. I definitely suggest this read!
Thank you We Are Bookish! This is an amazing book club kit! I love all the bonus content! You thought of it all!
The Book Club Kit for *Children of Blood and Bone* by Tomi Adeyemi is a fantastic resource for enhancing book club discussions and creating an immersive experience for readers. With thoughtful discussion questions, the note to readers, and an insightful author interview, it encourages meaningful conversations and deeper engagement with the novel's themes and cultural roots. Interactive elements like the Maji Clan Quiz, the word search, and the printable bookmarks add a fun, hands-on aspect, while the playlist and book club bites & sips help set the perfect atmosphere for meetings. The helpful what to read next section, along with more information about the author and her work, ensuring the literary journey continues beyond the book. This kit is a creative, comprehensive tool that brings book clubs closer to the world of Orïsha and makes every meeting more engaging and memorable.
The interview was enjoyable and the questions set the stage for deep and political debates. The bookmarks mirrored the cover style: not my favourite, honestly.
The recipes were interesting and I am very happy to try some Nigerian food and drinks. The playlist can indeed be a pleasant choice of background music. The Maji clan quiz is a fun activity, but the word search feels more like a solitary activity. The book and film list was a nice addition.
Love the resources. I’m using the bookmarks as part of a display. I’d love to see more resources like this that include bookmarks. High school students are attracted to a book with a bookmark in it. I suggest putting some intriguing notes on the bookmark to pique their interest.
This is a great book club kit. I am looking forward to using it with our book discussion in a few months. Children of Blood and Bone, if you haven't read it, is not only a great book, but the audio version is AWESOME!
Thank you NetGalley for this book club kit!!
I absolutely loved Children of Blood and Bone, so much so that I’ve recommended it to friends and family and repeatedly on my social media profiles. Now, reading an interview with the author through this text feels truly fantastic!
This book captivated me with its rich storytelling and vibrant world-building and left a lasting impression that I couldn’t help but share. It is highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable fantasy read.
I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.
This is a great resource for people reading the Children of Blood and Bone. I've already made bookmarks for my students and they are excited to read the book! I love the discussion questions and author interview provided, these paired with the playlist and quiz will help make the book more enjoyable!
I was given the opportunity to review the Book Club Kit for the Children of Blood and Bone, in exchange for an honest review.
First, I'll extend a big thank you to the author, Tomi Adeyemi, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for the opportunity to be able to take a look at this Book Club Kit for the novel Children of Blood and Bone. I will share my review to Amazon and Goodreads. This Book Club Kit contains a lot of helpful and interesting items, including an interview with the author about the book and some discussion quetsions that ask the reader to take a deep and thoughtful approach to the story. Children of Blood and Bone is a book with so many important themes and ideas, and the questions included do a good job of giving a balanced look. This Book Club Kit even comes with printable bookmarks, some recipes, a playlist, some games like a word search, and some suggestions of other books you may like based on enjoying this one. This was really thorough and and included so many extras, it really impressed me. I think this would be very useful for any group wanting to discuss Children of Blood and Bone and the author, from classes to book clubs. Thanks again!
a book club kit so not really something i would review on. I mistakenly thought it was the book when i downloaded but unfortunately I'm too late for that. I'll have to get the next one.
I absolutely loved Children of Blood and Bone and I think this Book Club Kit is excellent! The questions are thought provoking, the downloadable bookmarks are beautiful, I loved the test to find out what clan you are part of. The recommendations for other books was also on point.

This is so great to have as I read through this series with friends! It helps to process certain parts of the book better!
Love these book discussions kit! It comes with pretty much everything you need to keep the conversation flowing!
This was really cool to look at. As a bookseller, it was cool to look at the material as someone who will be selling and promoting the book. As a fan of the book, it was also engaging to see the activities (loved the Maji Clan quiz)! Overall really cool.
