Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
5.0

Some lady cut ahead of me in the library check-out line. This is not something I generally let happen without a few words, but I decided to open this book instead. Heck, within paragraphs I was hoping that the lady ahead of me would take longer, so that I could spend more time reading this book before having to drive home.

When I arrived home, I immediately devoured this book. It deals with difficult subject matter, but Onyesonwu, as the protagonist, was such a strong center--she was the one going through the tough times, and yet I felt she was the one calming me with her inner strength.

Things stalled a little during the final journey, but this was still one of the best books I've ever read.
