What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed but generally positive feelings about this fantasy novel. While some found the middle section slow and the romantic subplot lacking buildup, others praised the unique African mythology, world-building, and well-executed multi-perspective storytelling. Readers particularly appreciated the rich, lush setting and intricate magic system, with many noting the story's thrilling twists and engaging characters. Despite criticism of some predictable tropes, the novel is seen as a standout in the YA genre, often compared favorably to popular series like "Divergent" and "Harry Potter."
