War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi is an interesting story of girls affected by a war set in a futuristic world. The characters were great and the setting was unique. When I discovered that this book was based on the Nigerian Civil War that happened in Nigeria in the 1900s, I thought that was pretty cool.
The two main characters, Onyii and Ify, have a great relationship, and I enjoyed watching them over the course of the book. They were forced apart and believe lies they were told about each other, and I kept wanting to read more in order to find out what happened to them.
Overall, I liked the story, but there's something to be said about familiarity. It took me a while to get into this story. There were a lot of terms in this book I was unfamiliar with. Once I became familiar with the terms, the book became more interesting, but the first part was a little difficult for me.
I will probably want to read the second book when it comes out.
