Akata Woman

Nsibidi Scripts, Book 3

De: Nnedi Okorafor

Narrado por: Nene Nwoko

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!

Riveting

Truly enjoyed Sunny’s journey! Hopefully there will be more to come.
Very well written and pulled me in!

Love it!

It keeps me wanting to know what they will face next. I look forward to the next phase of Sunni's growth.

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

Beautiful story and performance

Beautifully performed, another wonderful powerful installment of this series. Can’t wait to learn how These characters keep growing and hope there is more!

Love!!

I love this author and the narrator! This is one of my all time favorite series and the 3rd book did not disappoint. I appreciate the uniqueness of the characters and the storyline.

More Akata magic!

Another great story - it was jarring to have a different narrator. I liked the original narrator so much that it was hard to give the new one an honest chance - I probably would have liked her if she’d been the one from the start.

Wonderful storytelling and continuity between books in the series

I loved this series. It was a fabulous listen. I didn’t enjoy the voice that narrated the last book as much as I did the voice that narrated the earlier books in the series, but honestly that is my only (small) complaint about these books. I enjoyed disappearing into this world for a couple of hours every day.

Still amazed by the written imagery.

I loved how the story has continued to grow as Sunny has grown. The colorful imagery it brought to my own imagination was a true delight. The constant turn of events and the final note amplifies the experience.
