Add a CommentAmazing book! I loved every part, it is so intriguing all throughout the book. My favourite chapter 17: basic juju <3 I STRONGLY recommend it :D
This book shares a sense of inevitable impending doom that I've seen in a lot of YA fiction coming out recently, which can sometimes be a downer, but it approaches the problem of the oncoming end of the world with humor and grace. Its surprisingly lighthearted for a book about a serial killer who mangles children.
Another great book from a fantastic author! Highly imaginative and adventurous, another book in Okorafor's YA oeuvre that can appeal to adults as well as teens and tweens. After Okorafor's fantasy novel aimed at adults called "Who Fears Death" this is her strongest work!
absolutely delightful. also a complete surprise. I really didn't expect to enjoy this book so much. I must say, Nnedi's imagination is unrivaled in the fantasy genre. Recommended! Read and enjoy!
