I love the creative worldbuilding and the portrayal of different African cultures. The characters are well-written and I spent the whole time rooting for them.

I am counting down half a point because the only lgbt character was horribly abused and then the main characters laughed about her sexuality and we barely knew her before she was killed. I think she was meant to be just a side character so her death made sense and the mains laughing were also laughing at themselves and out of anxiety but it left a bad taste ij my mouth.
