“I was really intrigued by the concept of a non- western country being the setting for space advancement. I was particularly interested in how the author would incorporate Nigeria’s setting into this work.
I liked how the author was able to link future issues facing the region with current issues. You could see the author had done some research on the concepts he was talking about.
However, I was unable to connect with the main character Bracket and found myself more interested I. knowing more about Seeta and Balewa.
I also struggled to find a strong relationship between the two storylines and was left with a few major questions at the end because of this. I would have loved to know what happened to the Wodaabe women, the cave, the Jarumi and even Wale.”
