Akata Warrior

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!
