Narrative To Books The Book of Phoenix (Who Fears Death #0.5)

A fiery spirit dances from the pages of the Great Book. She brings the aroma of scorched sand and ozone. She has a story to tell….

The Book of Phoenix is a unique work of magical futurism. A prequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award-winning novel, Who Fears Death, it features the rise of another of Nnedi Okorafor’s powerful, memorable, superhuman women.

Phoenix was grown and raised among other genetic experiments in New York’s Tower 7. She is an “accelerated woman”—only two years old but with the body and mind of an adult, Phoenix’s abilities far exceed those of a normal human. Still innocent and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she is content living in her room speed reading e-books, running on her treadmill, and basking in the love of Saeed, another biologically altered human of Tower 7.

Then one evening, Saeed witnesses something so terrible that he takes his own life. Devastated by his death and Tower 7’s refusal to answer her questions, Phoenix finally begins to realize that her home is really her prison, and she becomes desperate to escape.

But Phoenix’s escape, and her destruction of Tower 7, is just the beginning of her story. Before her story ends, Phoenix will travel from the United States to Africa and back, changing the entire course of humanity’s future.

Discuss Of Books The Book of Phoenix (Who Fears Death #0.5)

OMFG This was so damn good.

Wow, I was completely blind sided by this audio! The story is near future scifi with awesome genetically modified humans with powers and a lot of inspiration from different African myths. The main character is the kind of anti-heroine I love and she's mostly Nigerian! The audiobook narration is gorgeous and brings these characters to life with excellent accents. Highly recommended and I'm a new fan of this author!

I loved writing this, though I tried so hard not to write it at all; it just kept coming and coming. And I had to see how it ended...or shall I say, how it all started. I tell people that WHO FEARS DEATH and THE BOOK OF PHOENIX are sisters. THE BOOK OF PHOENIX (the prequel to WHO FEARS DEATH) is older and angrier. I wrote this on my blog and I still stand by the statement: "How do the stories connect? Who is Phoenix to Onyesownu and Onyesonwu to Phoenix? You'll have to read them to find out.

To my shock this is a DNF at 63%. I loved Who Fears Death and I've been wanting to read this for more than two years.Where to begin?The Writing:This book reads like it needed about 10 more rewrites for a number of reasons. First, it's a blend of sci-fi and fantasy but it reads like it was too unfocused to fit in either genre rather than this being a deliberate choice. It's a mess of unrigorous somewhere-in-the-middle and that's-good-enough.Second, a few more rewrites might have killed this

This is technically a prequel to a book I havent yet read, Who Fears Death, but it stands alone just fine. I actually think this might be the first book of Okorafors Ive enjoyed this much it shares themes with Lagoon and with what I know of Who Fears Death, shares the same anger at and examination of colonialism, racial issues, etc, but somehow Phoenix came alive for me more than any of the characters of Lagoon or Binti.There were some aspects of this that I didnt quite get it just seemed so

Human beings make terrible gods.(p.162)Every now and then, a story comes along that just seems to push all the right buttons at the right time. Nnedi Okorafors The Book of Phoenix is that book. In my opinion its a fantastic story that deserves to be read by as many people as possible. Ive been waiting to read a book this good since I started my blog.*Spoiler Warning: Providing a synopsis of this book is difficult without revealing some of the plot.
