[@tiffanyd.caesar4162]

I am so happy for Tomi Adyemi! I am really excited to finish the trilogy...These two black women are shining ;) ...

[@mzeevirginia8749]

Tomi is such a treasure ❤

[@GemsFromAGemini]

That’s how I feel about my books! I put my pain in these pages and create magic. I’m rooting for you and SO HAPPY to see you succeed! You GO, girl!

[@Nonifine]

So excited for the final book! ❤🎉

[@theabstractvoyager]

I am beyond excited for the release of this book and wish Tomi the best with the upcoming movie - FANS ARE READY!!🎉

[@nonamebae]

I’m a stay home mom again & decided to take up reading in my spare time & I started reading this book & my god I’m only 12 chapters in & it’s amazing, I preordered the new one

[@EpicFandomVogue]

YESSS!!!! This is so incredible!

[@jessicafisher3377]

I love her books. I need this to add to the rest of my books

[@TriggaTreDay]

My husband and I started the audio book of children of blood and bones yesterday and we are on chapter 4 and can't wait till tomorrow night to do our next story time session. Im really excited to see how the pages unfold. Interestingly enough he bought me this book when it first hit the shelves of barns and nobles and I have had it in my office as a show piece, but never made the time to read it. Well Im going to read all three back to back.

[@Rogue.Bhavior]

she is such an inspiration for me as a writer. i didn't want to write my book for so long because my story has mostly black characters. Tomi is really paving the way

[@yans21]

Reading from book 1 to prep for the finale 🥲

[@shavoyamallory4131]

@Tomi Adeyemi, I absolutely loved this trilogy!!! I am thrilled about your success, excited for the new read, and patiently waiting for the big screen adaptation of your amazing work 🎉 Oya is one of my favorite characters- ❤

[@xakitad]

I’ve been waitingggggg

[@Hannahacarmona]

Sooo ready!! I've loved watching her success!

[@drixcaster5169]

She sounds so mature now! ❤️

[@khooouri]

I'm jealous I wasn't in the crowd for a book! LOL

[@UhuruFrontier]

The stage was set completely wrong. The book cover behind her should have been Children of Anguish and Anarchy. Instead, it was Look For Me There.

[@jedarglobal3245]

👍👍Up Naija🎉

[@cassiewest219]

I was so excited for this book, waited so long... and the last book was such a disappointment :( Girl, your books should stay true to the plot, not suddenly change and drop main characters. This book was such a stark contrast to the first.

[@dylanre96]

Tomi has been MIA for years, especially after her second book flopped. Majority of people loved the 1st dearly. The second and the final conclusion were massive disappointments and rated worse on goodreads… how does your middle and final book that people have continued your series because they loved the first, rate the later ones so bad…. Guess money can get you on best seller lists

[@oneoftheskull3158]

I think she is an industry plant. I think she was picked to be the face for this books, she didn't write these books, well not by herself anyway. There's something off with this whole story.

[@eringourdine]

I absolutely enjoyed this episode, but I am so sorry to say this lady is a plagiarizer. She did not write those books. She is a complete liar. I am baffled. She and AsherVon from the Voice are crooks, and thieves. Lord have mercy on them and forgive only those that you can.🙏💅

[@nf6269]

Hi, I'm curious what you mean by she plagiarized the books? Do you mean the idea of the story? Because I did see a bit of Avatar the last Airbender in the first one. Or do you mean someone else's specific works she took?

[@piscean129]

Please share your receipts on this accusation. I would love to see and read the material you are referring to.

[@oneoftheskull3158]

I have not read those books, but I totally agree with you. The minute I saw her, saw her age, and the timing of this all, I knew something was suspect. I believe she's a industry plant. Someone else wrote those books, to ride that Blk Panther wave, and they are using her as the face of the books. She's 25 years old, what does she know? How can she write about anything? I don't believe none of this for a second. That's why it hasn't been made into a movie yet, they trying to get their lies straight.
