Solid 4 stars for this book. I've loved Nnedi Okorafor, since the day I read Binti in an hour. I've been telling my friends this is like an aged-up, slightly darker HP, and the author is amazing instead of being a TERF. Read this to your adolescent kids instead of that other trash. The audiobook was amazing, and so beautifully done. The climax resolved a little too quickly for my taste, but as a 30 something, I'm not the target audience for the book, so I'm okay with it. Highly highly recommend for a very different fantasy book!!
