Six of Crows

Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo

Can a female character really be a heroine if life hasn't fucked her sideways (often in the form of sexual abuse) to shape her up?

In Every Mirror She's Black

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.

Rebel's Creed (Lawful Times #2) by Daniel Greene

The book hits over and over with great character moments, stellar world building, and plot moments that had me enraptured. I expect Greene's work in the series to only get bigger and better

Wahala by Nikki May

Wahala by Nikki May

I haven't lived in London before, but I'm not sure that Africans in London who are almost working-class or working-class by association can afford to eat from the buka every week and also afford takeouts as huge as what Ronke always did.

RAIN CAN NEVER KNOW by Michael Afenfia

I would also recommend this for people that love messy characters (believe me, I can't count how many times I wanted to beat up some of them)

Ifa

Ifá: A Forest of Mystery by Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold

Asides from a few attempts by people like Fagunwa, Ben Okri, Amos Tutuola, and a few others, there is a dearth of information on Nigerian indigenous religions and mythologies.

A Broken People's Playlist

A Broken People's Playlist by Chimeka Garricks

The first thing that caught my attention was the author's writing. I love his writing! He writes in a way that bonds with the book nerd in me! And the songs? They reminded me of Wattpad.

The Hundred Wells of Salaga

The Hundred Wells of Salaga by Ayesha Haruna Attah

Slavery, kingship, courage, patriarchy, domestic violence, education, and love were some of the themes covered in this novel. This body of work displays Ayesha's rich knowledge and storytelling, and subtle humor.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard #1) by Scott Lynch

Locke is a genius. He makes Kaz Brekker look like a child (which he is; well kinda). His schemes are bloody schemes. Don't get me wrong, Locke Lamora is not a good guy in any way. He's more of an anti-hero that'll always have my support.

Malice

Malice (The Faithful and The Fallen #1) by John Gwynne

When a fantasy book has lots of characters, it's scary because that means not all of them will make it. Even at that I can't help loving them and hope the author doesn't kill off all my favorites.

Servant of the Empire

Servant of the Empire (The Empire Trilogy #2) by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts

The structure of the Tsurani society becomes much clearer as we are allowed to explore the involution, the finer points of the socio-political construct.

Daughter of the Empire

Daughter of the Empire (The Empire Trilogy #1) by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts

With all the plotting and schemes going on, one would be forgiven for not giving apt credit to the excellent world-building. Being a fan of Feist's former series set in this world, it's once again delightful to read about the cultures and peoples of Tsurani.
