Science fantasy. In a post-apocalyptic Sudan, a child of a rape that happened as part of war-slash-genocide develops powerful magic as she grows up, and seeks to confront both the threat to her and the threat to her people. I’ve read a bunch of books by Okorafor – her Binti series and her Akata series – and liked them all, but I think this may be my favourite. It is just so raw and intense. Also, full of a whole bunch of different kinds of traumatic stuff, so definitely worth investigating potential triggers before reading if that’s a concern for you. But so, so good.
