Tomi Adeyemi - a podcast by Barnes & Noble

Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone is the biggest YA fantasy of the year, a politically relevant West African – inspired series starter about an oppressed magical class and the maji girl who fights to reclaim their power. It spent most of the year atop the bestseller list, is currently in development for film, and will be getting a hotly awaited sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, next year. I talked to Tomi about the spark that became her debut, writing love letters to Harry Potter, and overcoming the reluctance to love your own work.
