Satisfying conclusion to the story. Her detailed world-building and Nigerian nuances are really unparalleled. She puts her characters through actual harm in a compelling way. Strongly recommend for both MS and HS.
I really love this series because it taps into a mythology and folk magic system that we don't see a lot in YA fantasy written by American/Western writers. So, although the story structure is very typical, the overall effect is fresh and bright.
I also really appreciate the way Okorafor has blended the folk magic with modern things like music and cell phones.
I wasn't able to immediately see reference to an upcoming third book and a lot of this book has an air of finality to it, but I do hope she keeps writing in this universe!
