4/5
A short, weird but interesting novel in an afrofuturistic setting. A girl becomes changed, gains a potential lethal ability and goes on a journey, learning about herself and her power.
- The setting is wonderful. Set in what feels like near future West Africa, I enjoyed how Okorafor describes and shows the world in snippets and and glimpses of both the familiar and the new.
- Our main character is confusing, scared and scary. She grows up, makes mistakes, learns and becomes her own person. Her journey provokes thought about society, growing up and learning about oneself and challenges associated with being different and potentially dangerous.
- Move pick. I've no real idea of his purpose of why he was included but I loved him. Fox fans will be pleased.
Interesting if sometimes confusing. I would recommend it to those looking for books with futuristic settings, character focused sci-fi and introspective prose.
