msjenne 's review for:
Who Fears Death
by Nnedi Okorafor
This book was so interesting, and I loved a lot of things about it, but I just never felt like the characters were real people.
It did make me think a lot about the term magical realism, which I don't think should be applied to this book. This is really a fantasy novel, with some science fiction in it, but I can't help thinking that people are calling it magical realism because it's in an "exotic", "primitive" setting. If this is magical realism, so is Harry Potter!
