Overall, this book was very enjoyable! I love that the setting is in modern Nigeria and gives readers a look into Nigerian culture while blending in magical realism. Another thing I really liked was Nnamdi and his best friend Chioma's friendship. They were both written with their own distinct personalities and really balanced each other. I love Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch series, so I was excited to read this, but I wasn't sure how much I would like it since it is for a younger audience. I definitely liked it, but there were a couple things that bothered me. One was how people in his town that were so afraid of the people who were running crime rings suddenly became sympathetic with them out of the blue. I also wish some side characters had been developed more, but overall I would recommend this book.
