An intriguing fantasy of Igbo culture mixed in with supernatural powers and deities governing life in a small community. The wars have left scars which have not healed, and people are suspicious of anyone who appears different. We have twins who don’t seem to follow the normal path into adulthood bodies, and a very urgent threat of abduction and worse.

Didn't know really what to expect when I requested this book. I hadn't realised it was YA genre. Nevertheless it was an entertaining read and life afirming. Somadina is a courageous young woman. I enjoyed her story. I knew nothing about the Igbo people so I have learnt something too.
I think a lot of YA readers will love this book
