Lagos to London by Lola Aworanti-Ekugo

Though the book is set in Lagos and London, it's a reality most of us can relate to from anywhere in Africa. There is something in there, an experience or anything for everybody.

She Dreams in Blood (The Obsidian Path #2) by Michael R. Fletcher

The main character is as fucked up as you'd ever expect your most hated book antagonist to be. Only this time, he's not an antagonist. He's the main character.

The Black God's Drums by P. Djèlí Clark

Clark is a new-to-me author, and I was impressed by his well-considered, multi-dimensional approach in creating the female characters. They are smart, opinionated, powerful yet self-aware, and in touch with every aspect of their femininity.

The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness #3) by Joe Abercrombie

The bloodthirsty deviousness and callousness that came to Rikke and Leo ( I spare no sympathy for him anyway), the kindness that would sometimes peek through Savine's hard veneer - it was just too much for my poor heart to handle.

The Trouble With Peace (The Age of Madness #2) by Joe Abercrombie

The parts that stuck out the most for me were the war depictions. Abercrombie writes them so well I felt I was at the front lines - the racing thoughts in the heads of the soldiers as they rush headlong to certain death - it was very detailed and a tad personal.

Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola

A collection of short love stories, Love in Colour is what I like to call a genuine reading experience. The book is split into two parts; old and new tales, with the old tales being retellings of age-old myths and romances, and the new ones being Babalola's own creations.

In Every Mirror She's Black by Lola Akinmade Åkerström

Unfortunately for Kemi, her worst fears were confirmed. She was only a redundant body in a ceremonial role. Jonny poached Kemi for her skin color to represent diversity in a predominantly white company. It wasn't for her brilliance; neither was it for her experience. It was for her skin color.
