Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

3.0

A lighthearted story about magic, being and outsider, and finding yourself. The story follows Sunny as she learns that she was born with magical powers and that the magic world of "Leopard People" is thinly veiled from the reality of the "Lambs." This draws from Nigerian magical lore and the traditions of hero's journey cycles to tell Sunny growth as a hero. There are adventures, growing pains, and defeat of a dangerous enemy.

A pretty fun story that is a quick read.
