The Friday 56: Children of Blood and Bone

The Friday 56 is a weekly blog meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. The idea is to share an excerpt from a book you’ve been reading every Friday, to promote the book or simply just to showcase your current read!

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that’s OK.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It’s that simple

I jump back as the fruit stand explodes.
A troop of royal guards charges through. Mangoes and Orïshan peaches fly through the air. Second by second, more guards flood the market, searching for something. Someone.

I’ve been looking forward to this book for months so I’m thrilled to finally be reading it. I’m just over halfway through and, so far, it definitely lives up to the hype.

What are you reading this week? Have you read Children of Blood and Bone? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
