Huh. I thought The Children of Blood and Bone was a Cybil. I wonder why it isn’t a Cybil. It’s very Cybil-like. Oh, published in 2018, that’s why it’s not a Cybil. Next year! 😉
The very beginning of the book reminded me of something else. I don’t know what, but something… but then the three kids went off to save magic and I was no longer strongly reminded of another story. Except, later in the book when the Prince begins to figure out his magic and there’s that whole magical dreaming thing with Zélie – that reminded me of another story. I can’t quite put my finger on the title/series but there’s something about this one that just feels familiar and that distracted me from this story more than I would have liked.
I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Will Amari really be queen? I am guessing there will be obstacles there.
