An excellent story in and of itself, and a solid sequel. Sunny, the main character, is defiant, kind, insecure, powerful, and well-written. She's an American born Nigerian inducted into a witch society in the first book. She and her friends go about saving the world in this one. Definitely #YA, but I do love those anyway. I think I'll look for more books by Nnedi Okarafor.

The sequel to Akata Witch, returning to Nigeria to follow albino wizard Sunny and her friends. Having defeated one bad guy in book 1, they're now focused on learning their skills as Leopard People. But Sunny is having dreams of a city going up in smoke, and the masquerade Ekwensu (briefly encountered in the first book) has managed to escape banishment and return to the human world accompanied by a disastrous oil spill. Once again Sunny and her friends have to figure out a way to save the day.

This book featured quite a lot of spiders, so be warned if you're arachnophobic. However, it also featured an invisible flying capybara-like rodent, which is definitely a charming image.

I liked this book a bit better than the first, I think; the characters are more well-developed now, and the world setting continues to be interesting, and the plot was a little …

I checked this out from the library after finishing my used bookstore copy of Akata Witch. I was excited to see where Sunny was going. I could read many more books about Sunny. I want to see the next part with our Nimm Princess and Nimm Warrior.

I enjoyed this book more than the first. I'm not sure if its because I was familiar with all the characters and the world building was expansion instead of from scratch or another reason. I thought the reference to Voldemort was a nice touch, especially as the reader is unsure whether the reference is because the Harry Potter stories are a thing in this world (why not?) or if Harry Potter himself exists in this world.

I highly recommend these for fans of magic and fantasy and urban fantasy. This is an interesting world and group of characters that I want more of!
