I am happy to announce that I am almost at the end of this read. I don’t usually read sci-fi books but I appreciate the importance of representation in Africa. I have been greatly frustrated at the limits of feminism and agency in a world where sorcery is reserved for men. I am delighted about this post apocalyptic read that is centered around traditional African community while deeply technological and paradoxically magical. It’s such a mindfuck to read a book where there is no tension between science and technology and the powers of the spiritual realm. She captured it so beautifully. Every chapter packs a punch. I’d recommend everybody reads this book but I will caution that it may be triggering in terms of rape scenes and genital mutilation. I cannot wait to review this and introduce yet another Womxn I have fallen in love with since Lilith from Marlon James’ “The book of Night Women” #jonathanball #whofearsdeath #nnediokorafor (at Smaak.)
