The more specific terms for her works are africanfuturism and africanjujuism, both terms she coined and defined. If not a perfect book, or as tight a story as the first volume, it is a worthy conclusion of Sunny's story and I do recommend it.Nnedi Okorafor is a New York Times Bestselling writer of science fiction and fantasy for both children and adults. That said, Sunny's character does follow a very enjoyable journey here, with insights and discoveries that I found both surprising and satisfying. Much of the development involved Chi Chi and Sunny only, or even Sunny alone. There was not as clear a justification or need for the 4-person coven, for example. Also, a few elements from the first books felt not as strong in this one. These (for me) did not contribute much to the story. This book has several rather larger sections that feel entirely like flourishes that do nothing more than prove the author can think up crazy stuff. Next I would observe that in the fantasy context, where it is technically possible to make up what ever you want, I still look for a story to have cohesion and no random flourishes. First I'll just say I missed the narrator from the first two books.
