Vibrant and dark and get straightforward and honest, as all I've read by Nnedi Okorafor is. I love the way she builds her world - futuristic science fiction that feels extremely accessible with magical characters who are who they are. They're formidable Nigerian women like Sankofa, kind and brave and fierce and struggling with all the odds stacked against them. They always persist, like Sankofa. Nnedi Okorafor's writing is strong and compelling, easily able to bring the reader into a story and I loved it. Another fantastic work, and I expect no less.
