Praise
“A buzzy debut about the adventures of a runaway teen who finds himself at an HBCU for the young, Black, and magical, Blood at the Root is a story of community and legacy that’s clearly aiming to do something very different in this genre space.” —Paste Magazine
“This story offers a fresh take on familiar YA fantasy tropes, like a secret magical school and a long-lost grandmother.” —BuzzFeed
★ ”Everything about Malik’s world….is written for Black boys, filling a much-needed gap in magical YA. And best of all, Williams’s debut is rooted in Black history, telling the truth through fantasy.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“Exuberant contemporary fantasy series opener….a serpentine, high-intensity celebration of Black culture, history, and power.” —Publishers Weekly
“Debut author Williams’ impressive world building blends African and Black American history and cultures with a secret society of influential hoodoo and vodun practitioners…This celebration of Black culture will resonate with readers unused to seeing themselves in traditional fantasies.” —Booklist
“The extensive worldbuilding incorporates West African, Caribbean, and Black American history and cultures to explain a magical reality hidden from view and relevant to the Black diaspora and Malik’s family history….A well-thought-out magical world that provocatively centers Black experiences.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Williams offers a strong foundation of world-building in this series debut, blending creative magical pieces with realistic elements of Black history and culture.” —The Bulletin
“A refreshing, thrilling, magical, and all-around good read! Cheering for you, LaDarrion!”
— James Bland (Creator of Daytime Emmy Award-winning drama series “Giants”)
