Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor

This is by no means an easy book to read. And I'm sure that is part of its great impact.

With heavy themes, including FGM, sexual violence and oppressing women/minorities, this story walks you through a painful battle of magic, growth and new beginnings.

I don't have the skill to grasp the complete effect of the book due to my lack of knowledge of the history that has sparked the flame for it, but I will be reading more about the themes mentioned in the acknowledgements.

Should you read this book? Yes, as long as you're aware of its themes.
