Akata Woman
Akata Woman | Nnedi Okorafor
20 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
From award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, the electrifying third book in the series that started with Akata Witch, named one of Time magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time and 100 Best YA Books of All Time! In this series, Okorafor creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels. --Time magazine From the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life--America and Nigeria, the normal world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person. Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go...but may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in an otherworldly realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed.

I liked this book because it has a whimsical feel of magic and warrior/ witchcraft. A desire for adventure and discovering new powers within oneself. I like the names of the characters such as Sunny and Sugar Cream giving it an upbeat, sweet outlook

This book, published in 2022 is part of a three book series. This book is related to the main character‘s life and how she must control bother her magic and her real life. It is very detailed and incorporates two different cultures in a beautiful way.

This book was published in 2021. It was a very easy read of the first chapter and was very easy to pick up on even when the book was in fast motion. I also think the message this book seems to bring is a great message of woman power.

Mehso-so

Akata Woman by Nnedi Okorafor is a winner of the Hugo, Locus, And world fantast awards (2022). This book tells a story about Sunny Nwazue and he mystical energy. She goes on a quest that is dangerous and fan-statical. The first chapter takes you to a dark place and sets the scene and mood of the story.

Sunny has grown so much as a confident, self assured young woman. I wish there was more lore about the wilderness here. This was a spiritual piece of her story. That‘s why it felt “slower”, yet still powerful. Good backstory and lesson spent twice. Good connection for revenge from Udide and Chichi. Ending was left very open ended. Easily leave it, easily add more. This is an amazing world of juju magic.

I cannot say enough good things about this book and really this series overall. Sunny's journey from outcast to strong, capable woman is absolutely captivating.

I don't know if Nnedi Okorafor has plans to continue the series beyond three books, but I know I would love to see more.
