Acerca de esta escucha

Part science fiction, part fantasy, and entirely infused with West African culture and spirituality, this novella offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a teenager whose coming of age will herald a new age for her world. Set in the universe Africanfuturist luminary Nnedi Okorafor first introduced in the World Fantasy Award-winning Who Fears Death, this is the first in the She Who Knows trilogy

When there is a call, there is often a response.

Najeeba knows.

She has had The Call. But how can a 13-year-old girl have the Call? Only men and boys experience the annual call to the Salt Roads. What’s just happened to Najeeba has never happened in the history of her village. But it’s not a terrible thing, just strange. So when she leaves with her father and brothers to mine salt at the Dead Lake, there’s neither fanfare nor protest. For Najeeba, it’s a dream come true: travel by camel, open skies, and a chance to see a spectacular place she’s only heard about. However, there must have been something to the rule, because Najeeba’s presence on the road changes everything and her family will never be the same.

Small, intimate, up close, and deceptively quiet, this is the beginning of the Kponyungo Sorceress.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Yetide Badaki narrates this audio novella about Najeeba, who was introduced in the author's previous novel, Who Fears Death. Years before that story takes place, Najeeba is a 13-year-old girl who receives the call to the Salt Roads, an experience usually reserved for men. With her smooth voice and precise pacing, Badaki allows the details to linger in listeners' minds as the setting unfolds.… Using a mature voice, Badaki embodies a girl whose journey transforms her, and the world around her, irrevocably.” AudioFile Magazine

"Okorafor packs a punch in her She Who Knows series launch, a return to the realm of the World Fantasy Award–winning Who Fears Death . . . Fans of Who Fears Death will appreciate the return to this rich, fully realized world, but Okorafor keeps things accessible enough that this works just as well on its own. Readers will devour this." Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"As always with Okorafor’s work, the prose is sharp and immersive, the characters provide insight into family drama and healing, and the narrative seamlessly blends elements of fantasy, folklore, and speculative fiction . . . While this book may be short, its impact is anything but small." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Intriguing story that drew me in completely. Narrator is talented and her voicevoice was pleasant

I do hope story continues. I was left wanting more and the ending implied that there is.

fantastic addition to this story

Finished She Who Knows. Wow, what a powerful punch this novella has. If you read Who Fears Death and Book of Phoenix, a lot of things fall into place with this one. Can't wait to see what's next in store for Najeeba.

Great Story.

Loved the ending. Explained so much of the story Who Fears Death. Still; many questions that I have which I hope other books will explain.
