War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi

4.0

Like many Americans taught in the US about World History through a colonizer lens, I had no clue about the Nigerian Civil War. Nor had I been introduced to the conflicts of those on the African continent. I’ve found that I learn about history through genre fiction titles including WARGIRLS.

Despite never knowing much about the conflicts, I connected to the story through its protagonists. These sisters face so much and overcome even more that you forget that this fictional story is based on real-world events.

Add to it the futuristic technology (including giant mechs) and a setting that’s as picturesque as it is frightening, and you have an incredible epic of a tale!
