Rezension von JuliaI love it! It’s like Black Panther meets Harry Potter. and the best part: other then those two, there is an extraordinary female protagonist, who not only has to fight with her own cluelessness when it comes to Juju/ Magic. But with the oppressive patriarchal system manifesting itselfs in different curfews than her brothers or dum boys on the soccer field and so on. I am very happy with this book (and everything else from Nnedi Okorafor)! Second Reading: Five years later I would say it is neither Black Panther nor Hogwarts but something wonderful in itself! A fun opening to a fascinating story. A friendship group full of support and care for each other without the drama and the bickering. A book which values learning more than anything else but is never boring with explanations. A very immersive read!
