Also there is a magic serial killer they are destined to destroy.Īkata Witch is that tricky, tricky thing to pull off, an origin story. Along with Orlu and her new friends Chichi and Sasha, Sunny learns more about her powers and the magical world. One day at school as she is being bullied, a boy called Orlu comes to her defense, and through him, she learns that she is one of the Leopard People, people who have magical abilities. She can’t go in the sun but she loves playing soccer. Her parents are African but she has grew up mostly in America. It is all about an albino girl, Sunny, who comes to live in Nigeria, where she feels utterly out of place. Hence, I tried Nnedi Okorafor’s Akata Witch (my word, that cover is gorgeous). A More Diverse Universe is a blog tour hosted by the lovely Aarti to spotlight speculative fiction by authors of color.
