I've never read a novel by Okorafor that I haven't loved, so I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. I liked the beginning and the end, and I particularly enjoyed the African Council and the interplay about the place of Wakanda in a pan-African Alliance. This is the sort of political storyline that absolutely appeals to me. The promising beginning and interesting ending, however, didn't make up for the tedious and lengthy middle, which was full of astral projection and giant bugs and black holes and cameos by characters I don't give a damn about. I didn't care for any of it, and even the Egungun doesn't make me want to read it again. (I'd totally read a whole series about them, though.)
