Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke

The only this this movie has going for it is the cast. The makers of this movie assembled Nollywood’s finest but sadly, even Nollywood’s finest could not save this movie.

A Memory of Light

A Memory of Light (The Wheel of Time #14) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

Despite its brilliance, it would be totally unfair to judge other epic fantasy series using WoT as a yardstick. Here, I'd simply say, "other series have done well, but WoT surpasses them all''

The Sex Lives of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah

As an African woman, I have lived in shame, and shame has lived in me. I told myself I was keeping my virginity for my husband. I needed to be a virtuous woman to be appreciated, I did not know what virtue meant, and honestly, I still don't.

Speak No Evil

Speak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala

Niru is gay and cannot freely explore his queerness. Although he is in a country like America, the Africanness and religiosity in his parents would not let them support him. Rather they take him to pastors to pray the gay out of him.

The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

It reminds me of a young man who once promised forever. He had been so consistent and intense in his promises of forever that I believed it, latched onto it, breathed it, and looked forward to it.

Malice

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

Then there are the themes in the book. Everything needed for a perfect dish of dark, grim fantasy is here. Magic? Check. Betrayal? Aplenty. Violence? You can literally hear the screams of dying men. A flawed hero? There's more than one flawed hero here.

Tyrant's Throne

Tyrant's Throne (Greatcoats #4) by Sebastien de Castell

It's a testament to the writer's storytelling and plot-twisting skills that he's able to get his characters into so much trouble and then get them out, all without giving his readers the impression that he's being overly partial.

The Fifth Empire of Man

The Fifth Empire of Man (Best Laid Plans #2) by Rob J. Hayes

The fighting is hats off, badass! The descriptions of sex are just as vivid as the gruesome literary pictures of broken skulls, disemboweled soldiers, hamstrung men and women, and decapitated men lying in pools of blood and gore.

Blood of Assassins (The Wounded Kingdom #2) by R.J Barker

Moving on, I love the way the author portrayed the events here. His writing and world-building improved greatly.
