Please, forgive me if I don't write too much about this one. I know I liked it, as I polished it off within a couple days (if I remember correctly), but I honestly remember few specific details.

As I've reviewed the series before, I'll assume we all know the basics. 

SEMI/NOT REALLY SPOILERS

So, Violet's still in a crazy love triangle with Jay and Rafe, with Rafe becoming more appealing by the chapter (IMHO). Oh yeah, and serial killer stuff, as usual. Ya think Chelsea dies, but that would just make Violet depressed for another book and would prohibit anything else from happening.

By the end of the book, nothing's fully resolved. Another book is definitely in the works. There's no other way.

I liked this book, but am definitely getting annoyed with Violet. No joke.

I've been negligent of my blog, yes. I've actually got a pretty good excuse for why I didn't post this review right away, which made it all the easier to put it off until now. This was a book I read for a book club I'm a member of [check us out!: http://yabookcouncil.com ], so I didn't want to complete a review before I'd really hashed out my opinion with the crew. 

So, here goes!

Akata Witch is the story of a girl named Sunny who is an American-born Nigeria girl who has recently moved to Nigerian with her family (it's important to make the distinctions here, I swear). Before too long, she finds out that she's actually magical, referred to as a "Leopard," and things get ever-so-slighty Harry Potter-y from there on out. We had lots of fun talking about the similarities at the book club meeting.

Anyway, it's been a while since I finished it, so I'll just get right down to the part where I spew my opinion. While I really enjoyed this book while I was reading it, I have to say that I don't remember a whole heck of a lot of the details now, only a month and a half later. I remember really enjoying the parts where Sunny figures out how to use her magic powers and essentially earns money for knowledge. The end of this book, however, was extremely anticlimactic. It really felt like this book was just laying the grounds for a series without having too much oomph on its own, you know what I mean?
