Nnedi Okorafor is truly gifted at creating immersive, surreal, and believable worlds—[b:Who Fears Death|7767021|Who Fears Death (Who Fears Death, #1)|Nnedi Okorafor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348469489l/7767021._SX50_.jpg|7036603] is no exception. If reading about societal trauma is challenging for you, I must note that Okorafor took inspiration from the very real weaponization of rape in the Darfur conflict. She allows for this reality to be imagined through the magical and powerful Onyesonwu, a name that translates to “who fears death.” This young girl endures challenges that would crush even the strongest adults, and her tale is one worth reading.
