Fascinating. Unexpected

This is science fiction mixed with fantasy mixed with mystery and more. Some of the stories are familiar because of the cultural background I share with the author. Others are suprising even disturbing yet all well told. Give it a go.

AMAZING

This is one of the best audiobooks I have had the pleasure of experiencing. As a fans of urban fantasy (Charles de Lint), this book makes me want to learn about the mythology surrounding the stories. I truly agree with the forward you truly wish the story never ends.

A wonderful short story collection

NNedi Okorafor is one of those authors whose works I will read at every opportunity. This short story collection of connected narratives is a fine example of her work, though I find I slightly prefer her longer form work. Yetida Badaki's narration makes this work sing.

So many great stories...

Some of these stories tied back to Nnedi's other works in lovely ways. Some stood alone in their greatness. This was genuinely a great find.

very fun read

Loved it , reading folklore/fairy tales with African twists was enlightening. I'm intrigued to read more . I'm a big fan of Greek gods/goddesses, nephalim, and wicken. was very fun to read the myths and 1/2truths as all myths are ...of African descent.
