𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓰 𝓣𝓸𝓾𝓻-- "Monsters are not born. We are made." Blood Scion by @deborahfalaye is one the grittiest and most grown YA novels I have read in a long time. Falaye's debut is packed with dynamic and flawed characters, a rich magic system, and a brutal world that will leave your heart heavy but your fingers turning the pages. It's getting a lot of comparisons to The Hunger Games due to the competitive aspects of the military school Sloane finds herself in. But I would go so far to say, that if you loved the brutality, bleakness and themes of The Poppy War- you need to read Blood Scion. Thank you to @turnthepagetours for allowing me to be a tour host. Head on over to the blog to see my full, spoiler free review and check out the synopsis of Blood Scion below! 𝒮𝓎𝓃𝑜𝓅𝓈𝒾𝓈 Fifteen-year-old Sloane can incinerate an enemy at will—she is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods. Under the Lucis’ brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within. #bloodscion #bloodscionbooktour #booktour #deborahfalaye #turnthepagetours https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCI7kEOfIN/?utm_medium=tumblr
