I’ve read most of Nnedi Okorafor’s books and really enjoyed them, but this might be my favorite! Can’t wait for the sequel!!!

This really a 3 3/4 rating. This was my first time reading a book by this author and I enjoyed her story telling and I like atmosphere of the book but a bit confused at the end as whether or not it was still Earth bound or not.  Thinking similar to Black panther like vibes.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book.

DNF but I got so far in that I'm marking it as read. Very bad. Hated every second of this book. Sent me into a 3 month reading slump
