I often feel like I'm missing something when I read Nnedi Okorafor's writing, but I never feel like I'm missing out - if that makes sense. It's always such an interesting read and I'm always left wanting more.

I really wish this was a bit longer. I wanted to know what happened next! It was such a cool world and we’re just left wondering what it all means.

I almost didn’t review this book because when I was finished, I immediately went looking for the next instalment. It had me enraptured. Odd, considering the plot is the story, but it was so good. How can an author cause me to feel such strong emotions in just 31 pages??? Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
