Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie's Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
This book was so good! It sucks you in from the beginning and keeps hold of you until you finish, at which point you're going, "...NOOOOO!!!!" because you need more at the end. I can't wait for the next book!
