Fantastic!! The character development is excellent. The magical world set in Nigeria and based in West African spiritual beliefs is different than European-based magic stories and brings so much mystery based off of what the main character herself is trying to understand. The inner struggles of a girl who doesn't fit in wherever she finds herself are so relatable, and the strength she finds not just in herself but in others is inspiring. Highly recommend.
