I'm not so fond of some of her companions, who are loud and overconfident. I'm also not so fond of the adults. The teachers are arrogant and callous. Sure, the heroes are stupid kids, but they are stupid kids that the world depends on. They could treat them with a little more respect, especially Sunny, who is not wilful or proud. I really wound up enjoying this read. I loved the setting of this book so much. I also really enjoyed the world building info that was given at the start of the book through various books. I really liked the four lead characters. I found the magic system was not as clear in the middle and felt confused at times. But i really liked the element of the murder mystery as well. It was a fast pace read. I am hopefully book 2 will make the magic system even clearer! I am excited to read it!

Cuando Sunny y sus nuevos compan~eros empiezan a seguir el rastro de un criminal que tambie´n domina la magia, lo visible y lo invisible se funden en una realidad que, como pronto descubren, no para de transformarse. Porque ¿que´ significa «real» cuando lo irreal ha demostrado formar parte de la existencia? Nnedi Okorafor -ganadora del Hugo, el Nebula, el Locus y el World Fantasy Award- crea en Bruja Akata una espectacular historia de aventuras, misterio y m No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It’s a unique and interesting story, sure. I guess I just had a hard time staying interested in this one. ( )
