Emezi, Akwaeke

Emezi’s latest novel will help readers see beauty in the void. Fans of their work or Nnedi Okorafor’s “Nsibidi Script” series will doubtlessly gravitate to this one.

Readers of Pet will relish this dive back into the origins of Bitter’s creative power and come to deeply understand the price paid to ease the injustices of the past. Yet this book more than stands on its own, and will likely resonate with an even broader audience than its companion.

A riveting and important read that couldn’t be more well timed to our society’s struggles with its own monsters
