Akata Witch is awful. The author clearly has no idea how to write books for this book’s target audience. I’m not even entirely sure what the target audience is. The book will go too far trying to explain a simple idea and then, the next paragraph will describe torture or a violent death or some such. It’s not a book I would have enjoyed reading as a 12 year old, and as an adult, it’s simultaneously gory and boring.

Not to mention the fact that the book condones child abuse as a method of punishment for bad behavior.
No one needs or should want to read this book.
