She Who Knows

This tells the story of Najeeba, a teenager discovering her power. Like her father, she hears the call to travel the Salt Roads, an occupation usually reserved for men. But this is just the beginning of Najeeba's growing abilities. 

This was my first Nnedi Okorafor, but it won't be my last!  I was a little concerned about not having read Who Fears Death, which this is a prequel for, but that is not a problem as far as I can tell.  I am not really familiar with the mythology/folklore this story is drawing from, but the author pulled me into Najeeba's world and gave me enough information to follow along. I believe this is the first of a planned trilogy and I look forward to seeing where the story goes. 

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and Daw in exchange for my honest review. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.
