A review by kirstenrose22
Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

4.0

I liked this, but my socks remained firmly on my feet. I loved the setting, and how Sunny is the ultimate outsider. A lot of the book is spent exploring the new magic world which Sunny has discovered co-existing with her own. The climax was not particularly well-explained, unfortunately. Also, while I did like it, it was not incredibly compelling either. But how awesome to have a fantasy novel with a protagonist-of-color in a non-Western setting (and not just for *exoticism*'s sake).
