Akata Woman

Akata Woman is a 2022 young adult fantasy novel by Nigerian American author Nnedi Okorafor.

It debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list following its release in January 2022.

[3][4][5] Set after the events of the second book, Sunny Nwazue, who discovered that she is a member of the all female Nimm Warriors, is tasked by Udide, a giant talking spider, to find and return a ghazal stolen by Chichi's mother.

Sunny, Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha will have to travel across various settings—the spirit realm, Nimm village, and a parallel universe of plant-based technology—to stop Udide from wreaking havoc on the Nimm women.

[10] Murad Mahvesh in a review for Tor.com noted that "The story zips along with plenty of fun twists and turns, scares and surprise, and as usual, Okorafor pulls no punches with current social commentary".
