Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor
4.25

Magical school with young teens set in Nigeria drawing from  African myths. It was neat, the characters were well done & felt very distinct in their voices & actions. I liked the magic system & what not but 1 thing perturbed me: the MC is albino & she gets offended saying that ppl always think albinos have powers or something like they are not human… but then she does have a special subset of powers bc she’s albino… anyway, it was good tho
