This novella is a delight. Fierce warmth and heartbreak blooms in the desert sands of a far-future that feels enchantingly close. Nnedi Okorafor is a masterful storyteller. Salt Roads and Dead Lakes shifting; a young girl and her sorcery coming of age together; these are the heart and start of the brilliant world that Okorafor has nurtured so carefully for years.
