Throughout the world are beasts residing in different environments such as the river beast of the first book, the lake beast, cousin to the river beast, and even a wilderness beast, who have aligned themselves with Ekwinsu and do his bidding. Being a free agent, Sunny still has much to learn about the leopard society.Īlthough Ekwinsu failed to materialize into the world of our heroes, his defeat at the hands of Sunny and her friends made him realize how powerful Sunny was, motivating him to stalk Sunny. Sunny not only grows stronger physically, but mentally as well under the tutelage of Sugar Cream. After Sunny, Chichi, Orlu, and Sasha stopped the murderous Black Hat Otokoto’s plan of resurrecting the evil Ekwinsu to wreak havoc, the coven members continue their training. Our protagonist, Sunny Nwazue, and her friends have matured since the harrowing events of Akata Witch. In addition, pressing questions left in the first book are answered in this follow up. Although, many of the creatures and concepts seen in Akata Witch may not be novel to those familiar with Nigerian and other West African lore, much may be new to the average Westerner and Okorafor gracefully presents some of these aspects to the reader. Where Akata Witch focuses on building a fascinating world based on Nigerian mythology, Akata Warrior delves further into storytelling and expanding the magical world. Akata Warrior by Nnedi Okorafor is the sequel to the young adult fantasy novel Akata Witch.
