Akata Woman is the New York Times bestselling third book in the series that started with Akata Witch, named one of Time magazine's "100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time" and "100 Best YA Books of All Time," from award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor. "In this series, Okorafor creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels." —Time magazineFrom the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life—America and Nigeria, the "normal" world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person. Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go...but may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in an otherworldly realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed.

"This is the third book in the series that started with Akata Witch and it was compared to Harry Potter and I can kind of see why, but at the same time, this is very different with the magic system and everything too.<br/>I kind of was a bit lost when I read this book and so I wasn't as interested as I thought I'd be. This is best to be read after reading the other two books otherwise you'll likely get a bit lost and then lose some interest.<br/>I did pick up on things after reading for a bit and enjoy it in the end, but not as much as I would have if I'd read the other books in the series. Anyway, this book being the third in the series has a lot to live up to and cover in it. It's about Sunny and how she discovers she has mystical energy in her blood and has to learn to use, control, and understand her magic. After learning a lot in the previous two books with her adventures and life, things are put to the test in this book. She has to go on a dangerous quest to obtain a precious object hidden deep within an otherworldly realm and as things happen along the way, she and her friends learn and grow and have a fantastic journey to obtain this precious object.<br/>If you liked the other two books, then for sure check it out. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Penguin Group Penguin Young Readers Group for letting me read and review this interesting book"
