Akata Warrior (The Nsibidi Scripts)

This book felt denser than the previous one and I had to read it twice fully grasp everything that happened. I reckon Nnedi has grown tired of being labelled a YA writer and whilst she isn't tackling adult themes I can't see this book as being as approachable for children as the first book. All that being said the book is great Sunny, Chichi and Sasha all get further developed and we learn more about world of the Leopard People. You'll note that I didn't list Orlu and it's because I feel like he didn't get as much attention as the others and seems the least changed from the first book. I don't dislike him being the stable reliable member of the team but let's learn more about him and stop dancing around his relationship with Sunny. I like the development that Sunny's family got especially her brothers who feel like real characters at last. I need answers but this book is merely producing more questions and even in the first book the Leopard People aren't super forthcoming and strongly believe in self directed study. I'm excited for the next book but from the set up in this book it seems like it'll be more complicated not less and might go so far as to require a third reading

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.

Great writer, sucks you right into the story. Fantasy for teenagers and old teenagers (I'm 47!)....will read more, want to read more.

Love this series, can't wait for more
