Publisher's Summary

A year ago, Sunny Nwazue, an American-born Nigerian girl, was inducted into the secret Leopard Society. As she began to develop her magical powers, Sunny learned she had been chosen to lead a dangerous mission to avert an apocalypse, brought about by the terrifying masquerade Ekwensu. Now, stronger, feistier, and a bit older, Sunny is studying with her mentor, Sugar Cream, and struggling to unlock the secrets in her strange Nsibidi book.  

Eventually, Sunny knows she must confront her destiny. With the support of her Leopard Society friends Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha, and of her spirit face, Anyanwu, she will travel through worlds both visible and invisible to the mysterious town of Osisi, where she will fight a climactic battle to save humanity.  

Much-honored Nnedi Okorafor, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy awards, merges today's Nigeria with a unique world she creates. Akata Warrior blends mythology, fantasy, history, and magic into a compelling tale that will keep listeners spellbound.

Beautiful

This is simply a beautiful story. Bring Nigerian heritage to life without being too foreign or out of modern touch. Sharing what almost felt like mini stories of the Nigerian while woven in mysticism. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Refreshing, Captivating, Creative and Vibrant 🔥💯

The world building, character development and breathtaking cadence of this book is utterly enthralling. I loved Akata Witch, and Akata Warrior does not disappoint.
