    Awesome enjoy. I wrote them out of order; you can read them in whatever order you want. The stories don't care about the linearity of time.😊

    Just picked up these two books 📚 Okorafor fast becoming one of my favourites 😊....should I read the prequel first?

    The word "akata" in the title is 100% intentional and PART of the story. The character is Nigerian American and the story is set in Nigeria.
