Fresh, engaging, well written collection of stories. The author does an amazing job of carrying the reader along in a seamless manner as she transitions from one story to the other. One aspect of Nnedi'story that had me riveted was not knowing how she was going to pull off her plan. It had me on edge as well as it kept drawing me in.
With Chiaka and Obinna'sstory, it had me rooting for both simultaneously even as they walked their different paths, tackling their respective challenges all with one objective in mind.
