Deeply moving, provocative and beautifully crafted novel.

Watson's storytelling is clever and breathtaking. The pace that the plot unfurls is sensitive and masterful. I was completely gripped as Blessing, the main protagonist faced realisations about her life and family - a pivotal, highly emotive, beautiful point in the book.

Her characterisation is superb, I really connected with all the characters and was deeply moved by their stories.

Watson highlights the issues of Nigeria boldly and impressively yet weaves them masterfully into the lives of her characters leading the reader to care deeply about the people and the country.

A great read - I loved it.

Loved it! Not sure why I didn't pick it up sooner, it's absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed the cultural details and mythology of Nigeria as well as how the author used physical abnormalities and learning disorders such as albinoism, scoliosis, and dyslexia as an indicator of strong ​magical abilities. I also thought the characters were well developed and relatable. My only issue was with the climax. There was such a strong buildup for an ultimately underwhelming ending. Overall, I found it to be a wonderful story that fans of Harry Potter will likely enjoy. I can't wait to read Akata Warrior to see what happens next!
