Reseñas de la Crítica

“This title is a unique coming of age story, coupling the distinct experience of the cultural duality as both African and African-American.” (BCCB, starred review)

Akata warrior

I just discovered this awesome author and her tales of Sunny. I love, love this series!! So much more than the Harry Potter series, this is the black version, but with much more flavor for both children and adults!! This is a series that children with Brown skin can identify with as well as realize that we belong, even in fantasy, too a world of our own imagination as well!!

It left me wanting to pick up with more. come on audible!! There are tons of voracious black and Brown readers. Let's see more from this author and more authors like her!! Well done, story, characters and narrator!

Exciting!

Loved it! I loved how the book pulls you into their world! The story and the narrator took my breath away!

girl power

i enjoyed the story & the main character and her relationship with her friends and family and her new powers

Another good one

This book is well written and authentic. The storyline is complex enough to entertain an adult, yet simple enough to be followed and understood by precocious children. I am reading this entire series ine after the other and I have not veen disappointed, yet.

The culture how they tastfully fulfilled the excitement t throughout the story.

At first it was hard to listen to because of the "he said, she said" it was to much. but overall the story line was very easy to follow.

cant wait for next installment!!

although there are a couple of moments when voices blend together, It doesn't get in the way of the story! I enjoyed it so much. this book was challenging and I'm still wrapping my head around the universe and the timeline Nnedi has created and is creating in their books. I can't wait to see what happens next.

FANTASTIC!!

I have been in a choke hole ever since I listened to Book One.. Akata Witch. I love how the characters are developing and how they seem to be ‘growing up’ before my eyes This seeio(this far) is very well written. The narrations are superb!

Nnedi's brilliance captured in spirit by Yetide

slam dunk. Yetide is masterful in her reading of Nnedi's books. And Nnedi writes such rich novels Ursula Le Guin would be proud.

good book also

I like this one also. But in my opinion I think the first book was better. Still willing to buy a third one it come out with one.

Exhilarating and intensifying!

This novel, the second and Siri was just phenomenal! The continuation of the first story, integrated with the new storyline, and the narration was Jess splendid and delightful! I really enjoyed the fact that each character had their own dynamics and it was Xpress by the reader so vividly.
