Dazzling by Chịkọdịlị Emelụmadụ
4.5
adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Emelumadu’s writing style is very to my taste. We get intergenerational magical realism with fantasy but also contemporary drama. I thought the concept of the leopard was really cool and you get both the horror and the adrenaline following the characters as they make difficult choices. Original and compelling. You FEEL for the protagonists. Book maths = Emezi’s Pet + Makumbi’s The First Woman.
