The book has spawned a lot of awesome reviews. For a debut novel, Tomi Adeyemi has actually done quite well. The writing style is especially good. But then, most of the good reviews garnered by this book are from Americans and Europeans, not Africans (especially Nigerians). She has the right idea, blending Yoruba mythology with regular YA.
I loved the magic system, the world, the characters and cannot wait for the next book! And don't let me start with that GORGEOUS cover. This might be one of the most beautiful book that i own. But, even though and love it so much the reason why I gave it 4 starts was.... the romance.
In my opinion it was to forced and while I was reading I didn't care for any of the 2 couples that we have in this book. I usually am a sucker for romance but this book wasn't my cup of tea.

This one is super fun since it has word searches and quizzes with it. This would be super helpful not only for a book club but for teachers as well.

I loved this book and really enjoyed this book club kit as well.
I especially appreciate the inclusion of trigger warnings at the beginning.
The author interview, of course, is a nice touch as well.
The book questions are helpful, but I think they could have been deeper.

I used this kit for my local book club since we were reading Children of Blood and Bone and the kit was so fun to share and utilize for book club.

This is fun! Great kit for this book! Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is one of my favorites I've read this year!

This kit was great. It has a little of everything to help you understand and discuss the book deeper.

used this in my second group and it was loved, this group enjoyed the puzzles and bookmarks and i found it helped them engage more with more structure

This book kit is perfect for my book club. I love the extra worksheets provided. Thank you, I am quite excited to read it this month! It will help me facilitate my group with ease.

I am going to suggest this book to our group. I am hoping to be able to use the book club packet for our group.

It was a cool little guide. The interview with the author and the discussion questions where the best parts for me and my group. I could have done without all the extra games and swag. Will be checking out more book club kits in the future.

Thank you for this amazing book club kit!!! I loved the author interview and discussion questions!! The book club kit was published after a book club I am in read it but it still has great information that I enjoyed reading. I can't wait to print the bookmarks too.

An awesome book club kit for a beautiful BIPOC fantasy that includes a quiz, author discussion, recipes, book club question prompts, bookmarks, and book recommendations. Definitely had me excited to pick up and read the book.

What a great book club kit!
I enjoyed the warning labels, author Q&A and the suggestions for what to read next including a list of the author's additional books.
Great guide! Will definitely use this for an upcoming book club discussion.
The printable book marks, music playlists and word search were great additions to this kit!

Great resource to have when reading the book and discussing it with others. I'm hoping to get more people who have read it so that I can hear the interpretation that other people have and what else they got from the book.

I was excited to discover this book club kit.
-The author interview is enjoyable for readers.
-The discussion questions are open-ended, analytical, and thought-provoking.
-The printable bookmarks are thematically appropriate and aesthetically pleasing.
-This book club kit makes it so easy to provide themed-food and drink!
-The activity ideas were fun and themed-appropriately and great suggestions for recommended books!
-The playlist is fun and adds another dimension to book club party planning.

This is a great companion resource for any book club reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. The kit is thoughtfully curated and includes everything a facilitator might need to guide an engaging and meaningful discussion—especially helpful for readers navigating the book’s rich world-building and powerful themes.

This book club kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding.

THANK YOU! We Are Bookish never misses. These are AMAZING.
As someone who helps run a local book club, these book club kits are such a great tool to have! Everything is included and laid out so easily! Thank you for making such usefully and insightful tools for club!
Not only do I enjoy them, but I know our guests at book club enjoy them too! Makes us look more organized when I don't feel like I am lol.
The book marks are always hit! A nice little keepsake to print out.

An incredibly complete kit! Great discussion questions for the book club, it also included an interview with the author, featuring questions that I know would come up during our discussions.
There were printable bookmarks, food suggestions related to the book (immersion is everything!), a link to a themed playlist, a quiz and a word search, and even recommendations for other books, movies, and series.
This was my first experience with one of these published kits, and I’m absolutely thrilled!

This is an awesome kit with a guide on how to create a book club around the novel, Children of Blood and Bone, by Tomi Adeyemi. I've always wanted to add this to my speculative fiction book club unit, but I didn't know how until now. I think this is a great guide in what this book has to offer, and how to adapt it to different readers. I will definitely be using this in my classroom!
Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for sharing!
