I will admit that ancient African magic and mythology is not something I’m familiar or even remotely acquainted to, so I found this book very interesting from the start.
Based on the prologue, I thought it would be told in the first person, but Okorafor shifted away from that for her narrative. In a way, it works well in third person because it allows a group focus, but I really think a first person POV from Sunny’s perspective would have had a lot more weight.
That being said, this was a well rounded story until the climax. There wasn’t really a decline period which would have helped introduce the next book in the series. It’s an interesting read and I look forward to more of this story, however.
