Like most classic African novels in the Achebe-Ngugi tradition, The Fishermen mixes the traditional English novel form with the oral storytelling tradition, dramatising the conflict between the traditional and the modern. It is rather depressing but poignant.

I was initially intrigued because the description listed it as Jane Austen meets X-Men and I'd have to say that's pretty accurate. I randomly find myself thinking about it because I feel like I don't often read too many historical fantasy novels in the YA genre. Themes are similar to those found in many other YA texts but not in a tired, over done way. Looking forward to reading the next one.
