Critics Review
“A brilliant novel about sisters, war, and freedom.”–Booklist, starred review “Set amid the horrors of war in a world ravaged by climate change and nuclear disaster, this heart-wrenching and complex page-turner, drawn from the 1960s Nigerian civil war, will leave readers stunned and awaiting the second installment.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review”The intense plot is narrated in alternating third-person perspectives, and the author explores themes surrounding colonization, family, and the injustices of war. The story culminates in an unexpected, heart-wrenching end. An exhilarating series opener.“–Kirkus Reviews”[A] compulsively readable story with high action and high drama in equal measure. Perfect for fans of Paolo Bacigalupi’s novels and the Pacific Rim films.“–SLJ”War Girls is a brutal and spectacular feat of imagination.“–Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles series.
