A year after finding out she was apart of the Leopard Society, Sunny Nwazue has been studying and sharpening her magical powers to defeat a terrifying, powerful masquerade, Ekwensu. After being punished for helping her older brother get out of trouble using her magic, Sunny and her coven must travel to Osisi to fight to save the world. Just like the first book, Akata Witch, Akata Warrior is filled with Nenedi Okorafor's rich and detailed world building that I loved. Though I still wasn't fully set on writing style - it still seemed full of details and story line that left the story feeling meandering but then rushed in places that I wish had more details. There was a lot of recap in the book, some of it would even be stuff that happened a few pages before, which sometimes helped because I would get lost in why and how things were happening because of the way the writing was. I did still enjoy the book, even though I wasn't a HUGE fan of the first book, I grabbed the second one the day I finished the first because I still wanted to see what would happen with Sunny, Orlu, Sasha, and Chichi. Okarafor has a talent for world building and I wanted to know more. I'm still going to recommend this book to people who like science fiction and fantasy, just because I wasn't my full cup of tea, doesn't mean it wasn't good.
