The novel feels like one fantasy fans will be buzzing about all summer, and rightly so. What follows isn’t just a story about magic, but a complicated and compelling look at identity, family, self-determination, and the ways we allow others’ expectations to define who we are (or aren’t). But since she’s never been in love before, Voya’s going to have to find a boy, fall in love with him, and kill him, all in a month’s time. To pass her Calling, Voya must destroy her first love. But when she’s Called, she learns things are even worse than she could have imagined. and that’s basically what this entire event is about. If she accepts her tasks and fails, every witch in her family will lose the magic that helps provide their livelihood.Ī Thomas hasn’t failed a Calling in a century, but Voya’s always struggled with making choices. If she refuses to participate, no future members of her family will become witches. The story follows Voya Thomas, a 16-year-old Black witch preparing for her Calling – an ancestor-given trial that she must pass in order to inherit her magic. Liselle Sambury’s Blood Like Magic is one of the most exciting contemporary fantasy releases hitting shelves this month, a story of literal Black Girl Magic set in a complex future where magic and technology exist side by side.
