Fun story, painfully bad prose
This is a fun story. I really enjoy the cultural elements that go into the magic and fantasy in this world. However, the prose itself is pretty bad. Sometimes distractingly so. During a particularly serious part near the climax something was described as resembling "a thousand farts" or something like that, to give a particularly egregious example. Some of the metaphors and similes were painful too and there were times where I was annoyed by the stereotyping of African-American characters. I finished the book but this might be my least favorite Nnedi Okorafor book I've read so far.
