It's Monday! What are you reading?

A little over a year ago, I finished Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone.  I finally bought and started the sequel!
This is not a book for elementary students, but definitely a good fit for mature middle school on up readers of fantasy.  Adeyemi continues her modus operandi of writing each chapter from a singular character's viewpoint, always moving the story forward.  The battle to bring magic back to Orisha has succeeded, but with unexpected results: waking up powers in the very royalty Zelie battled against.  Will the old queen's newly acquired titan powers be used to bring the people of Orisha together, or to dominate the diviners once again?  Now that the princess has titan power, will she remain on the side of the resistance?

Now that I know this is the second book of a trilogy, I won't be too disappointed if there's yet another cliffhanger at the end!

It's Monday, and I'm continuing a fantasy series.  What are you reading today?
