Sunny’s back！ She and her tight group of ChiChi， Orlu and Sasha have new tasks， dangers and magic to deal with。Udide， the enormous， terrifying spider being/entity whom the teens dealt with in “Akata Warrior” （book two）， returns， and she’s determined that ChiChi and Sunny find and return a ghazal that Udide wrote millennia ago， and that was stolen by a few Nimm women （including ChiChi’s mother） some years earlier。 Consequently， so it makes sense to Udide that ChiChi and Sunny are required to make Sunny’s back！ She and her tight group of ChiChi， Orlu and Sasha have new tasks， dangers and magic to deal with。Udide， the enormous， terrifying spider being/entity whom the teens dealt with in “Akata Warrior” （book two）， returns， and she’s determined that ChiChi and Sunny find and return a ghazal that Udide wrote millennia ago， and that was stolen by a few Nimm women （including ChiChi’s mother） some years earlier。 Consequently， so it makes sense to Udide that ChiChi and Sunny are required to make reparations， as both young women are Nimm。At the same time， ChiChi， Sasha and Orlu go through a ceremony amongst Leopard people， which if passed， allows the to move onwards in their studies and abilities with magic。 Sunny will have to eventually also do this， but is urged by the others to wait a while， as it is strenuous and disruptive。 And if that isn’t enough， Sunny’s father is still having problems with Sunny and her secrets， and Anyanwu’s and Sunny’s relationship remains fractured。So， a serious and very dangerous quest for the girls， and of course Orlu and Sasha accompany them， because this small group of friends is powerful together and incredibly supportive of each other， which I absolutely love。 The teens must travel a road， The Road， only accessible through Nsibidi scripts。 Their path is treacherous， and incredibly wonderful， too， as the teens get to travel to another world， Ginen， which is a gorgeous， healthy version of Earth。 Okorafor’s descriptions of this place and the way the people there have found ways to truly， harmoniously live with nature left me with a strong desire to travel there。There is a lot of danger on every step of the way， and the teens get to use their many and diverse skills， though Sunny， as a Nimm warrior， with all her abilities， is particularly tested， dealing with the numerous difficulties they encounter， even while she and Anyanwu continue their “argument”。 Sunny’s and Anyanwu’s relationship fascinates me， and has through all three books: it’s loving， fractious， empowering， secretive and spiritual。 Okorafor is clearly having some fun in this book as the prose is lively and the pacing is fast。 There is so much magic， and I love how these four teens are maturing and relying on each other。 I’m glad I’ve travelled with these teens on the many paths， dangers and revelations they have gone on， and I love the powerful way Sunny’s story resolves in this trilogy。Thank you to Netgalley and to Penguin Young Readers Group for this ARC in exchange for my review。 。。。more

This is one of those stories that once you start you can't stop。 You are pulled into the story and it is weaved around the reader。 I loved every second of it and I could not put it down。 The characters were amazing and I hope to get more stories set in this world。 This is one of those stories that once you start you can't stop。 You are pulled into the story and it is weaved around the reader。 I loved every second of it and I could not put it down。 The characters were amazing and I hope to get more stories set in this world。 。。。more

I'm so grateful to be able to walk through a door and back into Sunny Anyanwu Nwazue's world -- and it feels like that -- the story flows around the reader and explains just enough to keep you going without slowing down to reveal the mysteries。 I loved the previous books in the series and was not at all disappointed in this one。 Just glad to see Sunny's journey continue in all its vivid， unpredictable， surprising glory。 Advanced Reader's Copy provided by Edelweiss。 I'm so grateful to be able to walk through a door and back into Sunny Anyanwu Nwazue's world -- and it feels like that -- the story flows around the reader and explains just enough to keep you going without slowing down to reveal the mysteries。 I loved the previous books in the series and was not at all disappointed in this one。 Just glad to see Sunny's journey continue in all its vivid， unpredictable， surprising glory。 Advanced Reader's Copy provided by Edelweiss。 。。。more
