Description
Featuring Najeeba, now older and wiser than readers have ever known her, this is a tale of family, courage, and healing
Najeeba has something terrible to kill.
And now she’s off to go and kill it. A fully trained, mature, and sharply focused sorcerer (don’t call her sorceress), Najeeba has left the comfort and security of her town with two companions, the glass maker Dedan and the old camel MorningStar. This journey takes her back to where it all began. And despite the fact that her training with the sorcerer Aro forced her to face her deepest fears, she hasn’t seen anything close to what she’s about to see.
As the Igbo proverb goes, a masquerade does not dance for nothing. The Daughter Who Remains is the final book in the She Who Knows trilogy. This tale isn’t about Najeeba learning to master her powerful skills, it’s about her having the audacity and courage to use them and use them well…no matter the consequence.

The Daughter Who Remains is the third and final book in the She Who Knows series. As always, it was an amazing story to read. We finally reach the conclusion, and while we always knew how the story would end since Najeeba kept telling us from the beginning, the journey was definitely worth it. I really love Nnedi Okorafor's writing; she manages to pack so much into these shorter books. I loved this series so much that I will certainly reread it soon. I highly recommend this series to every fantasy reader, but I suggest reading Who Fears Death first to fully understand the story. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'll post my review closer to the publishing date.

I asked what would happen when my favorite series ended and now I know: heartache but also peace. And also a strange yearning for the world Okorafor created in the Who Fears Death universe.
Out of Onyesonwu, Phoenix, and Najeeba, I think I liked Najeebas story best. I like that her story didn't end or even focus on beating Daib, she had something to do predating the thing he did to her as an individual, she has chosen to move on from that.
I hope to read Sssolu's story soon.

This was a great book, I absolutely wish that it was a little longer. There were some scenes that ai felt I could have reveled in longer. I loved the relationship between Ting and Najeeba and I would have loved to spend more time dealing with Dedan and his epiphany. The encounter with The Cleanser I will probably read again,, I am not sure that I could picture it fully. Overall a great conclusion to the series, or is it!?!?!

Najeeba has lived an amazing life and here is one more story of love and adventure and amazement and courage. You are with her on every step of her physical and emotional journey through the desert, through childbirth, to ultimately have to face the thing only she can do. Once again Nnedi Okorafor has written an amazing and fulfilling book.
Thank you to NetGalley and DAW for this DRC.
