Akata witch is a very interesting novel, the idea of Nigerian Witch who is Albino is pretty unique. I really feel for Sunny for the way the kids treat her. This novel is unique in it's setting and the writing style is refreshing and the subtle comedic moments are a joy. Ive only read a little but I'm already attached to Sunny and Orlu. The magic world is interesting as well, it does have some similarities to Harry Potter, such as 'muggles' though they of course aren't name that in Akata Witch, they still refer to the non magic humans.
I've found out that the title of Akata Witch was later changed to What Sunny Saw In the Flames, which I though was interesting. The word Akata was described as derogatory towards foreign born members of their society, since Sunny was born in America and then her family moved back to their home country.
