The Poet X vs Children of Blood and Bone

Most teachers at Nellie Carlson agree that the Poet X should move on in the competition.   The novel is unique, and the compelling story line makes the poetic format comfortable in a short time.  Children of Blood and Bone was dark, and the fantasy format was not a winner with our team.   Poet X moves on.

    Poet X is an outstanding book and I can see it moving on. However, I have to say Children of Blood and Bone is also an excellent, excellent book. I know some (Brad comes to mind) try to avoid fantasy but this book manages to be social commentary and fantasy and then drops some of the most common tropes known to the genre! This might be my zombie pick!
