Akata Warrior

Great addition to this series. Was engaged the entire time and would recommend it for anyone interested in fantasy and magic

One indicator that a book is good, well written and has a compelling story is that you become absorbed in its “world.” Such is the case with the Akata Witch series. Advertised to me as the “African Harry Potter” (whose books I love by the way) I found this series to be a fantasy that stands on its own, sans the derivative reference. I kept thinking about the levels of subtext - colorism, sexism, pan-Africanism, sibling rivalry, self discovery, honor, covenant making and friendship and on and on. I found myself wanting to develop a literature course or even a social psychology course around it! Brava! This book is a winner!

One of my favourite authors and books now. The author is just gifted in transporting you into the book where you see and feel everything that you read. I truly recommend in buying this book and all her other books.

This sequel does not give enough depth to characters, important events are rushed through, while less important details are described at length. The pace is too quick, which generates confusion. All in all, I believe the author was unable to create a credible parallel magical universe that successfully captivates the reader. The plot is interesting, I just wish it had been better developed.

I would recommend this book to all fans of fiction or anyone willing to learn more on igbo mythology. This book renders it wonderfully
