"You have your duty and your heart. To choose one means the other must suffer."
–Children of Blood and Bone (2018)

"You have your duty and your heart. To choose one means the other must suffer." –Children of Blood and Bone (2018) Tomi Adeyemi (b. 1993) #tomiadeyemi #quotes #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #writerslift The line only works if you accept a definition it never states. Duty, in ordinary use, just means something you are responsible for, and people want to do what they're responsible for all the time. The nurse who loves nursing, the parent who wanted the child. Nothing suffers in either case. But the speaker here means duty in the older, narrower sense: an obligation handed to you from outside, which you'd be shirking the moment you consulted your own wishes. Kant pushed that version to its limit, arguing an act counts as moral only when you do it against your inclination, so wanting to do the right thing actually costs you the credit. Both meanings are in circulation, and this sentence quietly trades the first for the second without telling you. Inside the book it isn't a general claim at all, and that's the part a meme can't carry. It's advice given to a character whose situation genuinely admits no third option. The crown prince of Orïsha has a duty to his father, a king who is exterminating the maji, and a heart that keeps pulling toward the people being exterminated. There is no arrangement in which both are served. For him the sentence isn't philosophy, it's an accurate description of a trap, and the novel spends its length watching him fail to escape it. Adeyemi's publisher treats it exactly that way. The official reading-group guide prints this passage and asks readers to test it: how does the statement reflect each main character's journey, and what role do duty and heart play in their decisions? That is a question about a claim made inside a story, not an endorsement of it. The book gives the line to a character, and then gives four characters whose choices either confirm or complicate it. Whether it holds is the assign

Launch day for The Siren by @tomiadeyemi whew 10 years if reading her work and being at each book signing, minus the Children of Blood and Bone because it was canceled due to a storm. (I later got it signed though).

Tomi Adeyemi revelou que a adaptação de Filhos de Sangue e Osso foi a pior experiência da sua vida e prometeu nunca mais vender direitos de seus livros para Hollywood. Nem quer ver o filme pronto!

Tomi Adeyemi says she will “never” adapt her books into movies again after her experience on ‘BLOOD AND BONE’.

The author previously described the production as “the worst thing I have ever had to live through.”

This had some crazy things happen for all the characters. I can't wait to see what the finale holds. It was intense.

#TheSiren by #TomiAdeyemi is filled with unlikable intriguing protagonists, this book is hard to describe but worth experiencing. Read nicely by the author on a well produced audio. Thank you @MacmillanAudio & #NetGalley for the opportunity to review the e-audio ALC. #BookSky
