Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

5.0

I have read a lot of YA fantasy and this one is nothing at all like the others. While it has echoes of The Great Harry Potter, Okorafor has created a uniquely imaginative story that has you hooked from the first page. It is wonderful to see not only a cast of characters that are entirely POC but to see stories come to life that we normally don’t hear about. When Queen Ursula LeQuin says this story has vivid imagination in it, you know it’s the truth. Honestly one of the most refreshing stories I’ve read recently.
