Blood. Power. Reclamation. Zélie in Tomi Adeyemi’s “Children of Anguish and Anarchy” and Nhika in Vanessa Le’s “The Last Bloodcarver” want nothing more than freedom from their oppressors and colonizers, but are they willing to lose everything in return? Adeyemi and Le discuss their impactful fantasy novels with strong ties to heritage with Christine Bollow.
