Thus far, this is my favorite novella of 2024. I know it’s still early in the year, but I’m fairly certain it will be one I think of often. The vivid descriptions, the wonderful color describing futuristic African culture, the language, and the emotional journey the protagonist goes through is stunning. I will definitely be adding as many books by Nnedi Okorafor to my reading list as possible

I adored the concept and development of this novella so so much. It is very sad and dark, which is the given with THAT premise (wow). I love books about characters that are Death or represent Death in any form and this one was definitely added to that collection. Also IT HAS A RED FOX IN IT (sorry, your story has a fox and you win me over). The journey, the growth of the character, the political issues it tackles and how it is handled at the end. It was, without a doubt, a treat of a novella.

I love this. The world building, character development, and writing style are great. The power that Sankofa gets from the seed is interesting.
