War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi

4.0

I can't believe I waited so freaking long to dive into this wonderful book. Pretty sure the reason why is because I was rejected to read the eARC but details. In War Girls, you will meet Onyii and Ify. They are sisters who were living in a forest until the day that they weren't. Onyii ends up joining the military and Ify is off to a university.

Even though I dove into the audiobook, I will say that it did take me a while to get into everything that was happening. Mostly because I feel like a lot was happening and my brain just wasn't catching up in time. So I had to pause and rewind a couple of times until the coffee kicked in. Once that happened, well, the book flew by for me and I started to fall in love with everything in it.

For one thing, this has an amazing sisterly bond. It's hard to realize that they would still be so close and fight for one another when they are completely separated. Some times people drift away but these two didn't and that's what I really enjoyed. Plus the action was kind of amazing as well.

In the end, I need to get my hands on the second book because there's no way I'm going to walk away from this series now.
