She will learn the mystic ways of the world and reveal the cause behind why most of the planet is now a desert. This is an amazing and epic novel that requires slow reading to absorb it all and truly experience the epic heroes journey Najeeba is on. A brilliant new book from Okorafor.

Nnedi Okorafor does it again in the She Who Knows series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel in this world. It had that element that I was looking for from previous books from Nnedi Okorafor. Nnedi Okorafor does a amazing job in writing this and was engaged with what was happening and thought the characters worked well. I hope to read more in this world and from Nnedi Okorafor.
