House Of Ezyron by Princess Izuagba

4.0

Speculative fiction & The Fantasy genre by Nigerian authors is a lane few explore but I just have to say this is daring.

House of Ezyron starts with a visit to the museum. Annabelle, the main protagonist, and her friends, Zoe, Mara, Zina, and Mark are excited about the school excursion until they learn about the Waziri tribe who used to worship a deity named Ezyron but are now extinct. During the excursion, strange things begin to surface because Annabelle dared to learn more and this is where everything unravels. Secrets from Annabelle's family and their debt to this strange Ezyron pose as a threat to her existence, that of her friends and family. A deadly quest is needed to seal the evil Ezyron and Annabelle begins to learn more about her late mother and even more about herself and the power she wields//It was fast paced and the unpredictable parts were more than the predictions. I think Princess Izuagba's imagination is wild, which is good for this kind of genre and knowing she's eighteen and wrote this is quite impressive. If you like fantasy and speculative fiction, this is fine to read to escape into another world.
