The fantasy imagery was great (especially the dreams), and the ending had an interesting/ fulfilling twist. The book dragged in some places, mostly around the midway point or last third of the book when Onyesonwu is travelling to her father, but the book also gave me many reasons to keep reading. The world of a futuristic Sudan was full and well thought out and gave me a lot of new things to explore. The magic systems in this world were refreshingly different from ones I've read about before. Okorafor brought up issues of sexism and the violence countries or groups can use to dominate others . Sexual violence and rape are discussed a lot. I think Okorafor handles such a serious and emotionally charged topic respectfully. I really enjoyed the protagonist's determination and her friendships and was invested when things got difficult for her. Overall, would recommend.
