![]() High-stake fantasy that will keep you up all night!.She wants to do the right thing, which is what makes her so believable. Unlikeable characters (this can be a pro or con for some)! Voya is not a perfect character- she makes mistakes and she doesn’t always do the right thing, but I loved that about her.A diverse group of characters! I love how Sambury included characters with different cultural backgrounds and large families.One of the best world-building I’ve seen in a fantasy book!.Trigger Warning: A whipping scene in the context of slavery, gun and police violence, a character with an eating disorder, blood/gore violence, death, substance abuse/addiction, and mentions of child neglect. Perfect for fans of Legendborn and Matched. ![]() I have to say it was incredible to read about a Sri Lankan family in a fantasy book, which is something I have never seen before. The only catch? Voya’s never been in love before. Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury is about a Black Canadian teen named Voya who has to kill her first love or her family’s powers will be lost forever. ![]()
