Not forgetting the amazing feat of Olubayode Olawunmi who broke the Guinness Book of Records for the longest marathon read aloud. We as Africans we cannot but be more proud of Tomi Adeyemi whose book is ruling the literary scene and once again brings Africa to the limelight. Her debut novel, Children of Blood and Bone, an Afrofuturistic science fiction could well give Nnedi Okorafor a run for her money.
The book is a West African inspired fantasy story set in the fictional land of Orisha, where magic used to thrive and was celebrated. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. The land suffered under the orders of a ruthless king leaving the people without hope. Could Zélie Adebola with the help of a rogue princess bring back the magic?
