Beschreibung

Two sisters are torn apart by war and must fight their way back to each other in a futuristic, Black Panther-inspired Nigeria.

The year is 2172. Climate change and nuclear disasters have rendered much of earth unlivable. Only the lucky ones have escaped to space colonies in the sky.

In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs meant to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate. Across the nation, as the years-long civil war wages on, survival becomes the only way of life.

Two sisters, Onyii and Ify, dream of more. Their lives have been marked by violence and political unrest. Still, they dream of peace, of hope, of a future together.

And they're willing to fight an entire war to get there.

Acclaimed author, Tochi Onyebuchi, has written an immersive, action-packed, deeply personal novel perfect for fans of Nnedi Okorafor, Marie Lu, and Paolo Bacigalupi.

DNF at 25%/ 120 pages. I just could not stand the writing style, the book was jumping around between places a lot, and also the technical aspects were not really explained. So instead of forcing myself through this book, I rather used the time to educate myself a bit about the historical context. I did read the author's note and then just started at Wikipedia, reading about the Biafran War, which I knew nothing about before picking up this book. This book does so many amazing things, gives great representation and shines a light on a part of history that probably most White people like me will know nothing about. And I appreciate that this book made me start the research, but sadly the book itself was not written in a way that I like and enjoy.
