I think that this book is really well written. The pacing, the adventures, the social commentary - overall the dystopian world building based off African lore is astounding. However, I am marking it down because of the last few chapters. The ending felt super rushed and anti-climatic. I felt like all these while we were preparing for a huge battle scene between Onye and Daib but it took a little less than two pages before it was all over. I found Lunyu's death to be... idk a little convenient. I understand that it was meant to show her strong and brazen character. That she was someone who did not fear death and was unafraid to stand up for herself and her friends but idk, i just found her death to be brutal. 

Overall, reading this was difficult because of the really explicit triggering content for rape and FGM.
