FROM GOODREADS: A year ago, Sunny Nwazue, an American-born girl Nigerian girl, was inducted into the secret Leopard Society. As she began to develop her magical powers, Sunny learned that she had been chosen to lead a dangerous mission to avert an apocalypse, brought about by the terrifying masquerade, Ekwensu. Now, stronger, feistier, and a bit older, Sunny is studying with her mentor Sugar Cream and struggling to unlock the secrets in her strange Nsibidi book.
Eventually, Sunny knows she must confront her destiny. With the support of her Leopard Society friends, Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha, and of her spirit face, Anyanwu, she will travel through worlds both visible and invisible to the mysteries town of Osisi, where she will fight a climactic battle to save humanity.
Much-honored Nnedi Okorafor, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy awards, merges today’s Nigeria with a unique world she creates. Akata Warrior blends mythology, fantasy, history and magic into a compelling tale that will keep readers spellbound.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I read "Akata Witch" last month and LOVED it. In fact, I even gave it 5 paws. I was so excited to see I wouldn't have to wait long to read the sequel and see what happens next. If you haven't picked up the first book, there's still time before this one comes out!
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I haven't read the first book yet, but this sounds interesting! Great pick!

I never thought I'd end up loving it as much as I did.
DeleteI really want to read Akata Witch, and I guess I hadn't realized there was already a second book out there. I've loved other books by Okorafor so I'm sure I'd love these too.
ReplyDeleteI actually think Akata Witch was a re-release which explains the close release date. I really think you'd enjoy it.
DeleteI really need to check out the first book because this one sounds really good. I hope you get your hands on and enjoy it. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the first one was a re-release but I could be mistaken. Books rarely come out that close together.

ReplyDeleteThanks Chuckles.
DeleteI never heard of this, but it does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting and unique middle grade.
DeleteThat COVER <3
ReplyDeleteAnd it coordinates with the first so well.
DeleteIs that a spider in the hair?! No fan of them, but it sounds really intersting, though I´ve never read a book by the author. Hope you´ll enjoy :-)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
