I'm wholeheartedly jumping on the bandwagon with this one. Children of Blood and Bone is, in some ways, a recognizable fantasy story that centers around a struggle between the ruling class who are non-magical and prejudiced against those who do possess magical abilities (magi), and yet it it is told from a fresh perspective in a setting we rarely see in YA Fantasy. At its heart, though, this is a book about a girl coming of age and discovering her own power and self-worth in the face of immense societal discrimination and injustice - always relevant, but especially heart-wrenching in Children of Blood and Bone. I listened to the audio version of this novel, which was amazing. The accents were beautiful but still easy to understand, and I highly recommend listening to it.
