Review for the duology —
 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 — Epic YA fantasy rooted in African storytelling — with all kinds of representation, a range of diverse characters (race, class, gender, sexuality), and a totally riveting plot. Jordan Ifueko did some beautiful world-building and created complex characters you’ll care about. Includes themes of identity, justice, resilience, developing and honoring one’s moral compass, resistance against colonizers and the 1%, and found family. 💓
