A review by shakirae
Daughters of Nri by Reni K. Amayo
5.0
I loved the pacing of the book, the unfolding of the story. I loved how human each girl was in their roles instead of them just suddenly knowing everything. I loved how every character was Black and treated with depth.
Two sisters separated at birth that do not quite fit in but are special in their own ways go on incredible journeys to find themselves in a world with a tyrannical leader.
This story is an investment, a beginning. You go on the journey with them and you learn about two very different types of life in an African empire.
Any fan of fantasy would love this book, but this book really spoke to the part of me that wished for books like my whole life (before I discovered Octavia Butler and N. k. Jemisin). I look forward to the sequel.
