Book Favorite

"Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okora was a favorite book because I was only reading news articles when my partner, Janaya, bought if for me. It reminded [me] that Black girl magic is everywhere."

Magic and romance
This was on tv the other night so I thought i'd give it a try. It is a kids film so I thought it might be too young for me but I actually quite enjoyed it. It moved along swiftly and kept me gripped. There were good special effects and some "magic" that I hadn't seen in films before. There's also a romantic story as a sideline. All in all a good film.

Eh. I'm trying to be gentle, assuming that this must be a very early effort. The magic system simply didn't make sense to me. The entire society, in fact, seems nonsensical. A world in which magic reigns supreme, and the simplest devices (like wheels and levers) are regarded as diabolical? Nonsense. By the end, it felt like an intellectual exercise carried to an extreme. I can see using the conceit for a short story, but it just can't support a novel.

Realistic characters
Fantastic heroine
The start of an amazing series
In a world where magic and power go hand in hand, what happens when the balance is shifted? The detail of the world, it's magic and the rules that govern the citizens is fantastic and totally engrossing. So glad that there are now several series all tying in to this one so that you can keep on reading and losing yourself in an alternative world.
