As stated in her bio, Okorafor's books are described as Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism. There is something to be said about a book that creates its own subgenre offshoot. That element kept me engaged and curious.

The world building and history writing was sufficient, but I feel it could have been fleshed out more. At moments it did feel rushed.

It ended with a cliffhanger that will likely pull you into the next book in the series.
