Okorafor invents wild, fantastical creatures and worlds, but she's got an even rarer gift, too: She can describe the effect of using magicthe emotional and physiological repercussions of itso viscerally, it's as if it were a fever we'd contracted ourselves…What makes [Sunny] an irresistible character is that she's not just pure of heart, she's also a fiercely protective sister and a palpably real teenager…Okorafor describes Sunny's moments of anguish beautifully, as well as her feelings of kinship and wonder.
A year ago, Sunny Nwazue, an American-born girl Nigerian girl, was inducted into the secret Leopard Society. As she began to develop her magical powers, Sunny learned that 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.
