Publisher's summary

From the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life—America and Nigeria, the "normal" world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person.

Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go . . . but may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in an otherworldly realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed.

beautiful!

I love this series so much and would read it again in a heartbeat. I would watch it as a movie, an animated series, read it cover to cover (because I am buying the hardbacks).

Different from the others.

This story was a bit different from the two previous book both in flow and performance in my opinion. The author did a great job picking up from the precious story line , but I personally was not as excited about this book due to the change in flow and the narrator. I feel in love with the story because of the story line AND true precious narrator(s$. It was evident that the characters were evolving both emotionally and physically and maybe that’s where the narrator lost me. However, was still a good read!

I love the story. I loved everything except the American accents. I prefer just one accent unless the others are really good

Excellent story, but different narrator

I really enjoyed this series! Okorafor has a wonderful way of telling stories. I just wish this last book had the same narrator as the first two. While the story is great, having a very different narrator with a different style of reading just throws things off a bit.

An Exquisite Adventure

The author is a masterful story teller that always leaves you wanting more adventures with her characters. Her detail and depth are exquisite and brilliant. You get personal invested in each character because she takes you on a journey of their growth and development as she unfolds the story.

Love these stories

Great story again! I preferred the previous narrator. This one made Sunny sound awful. Her Nigerian accent seemed more authentic when she spoke a the narrator but doing Sunny's parts... not so much. Overall I loved the books though
