Narration As 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.

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

"Human beings make terrible gods."I love the novel Who Fears Death with a deep, abiding passion. When I read it, I re-read it instantly. I recommended it to everyone, even people who never read fantasy or science fiction. I felt it transcended genre, was doing something new, I couldn't say enough about it.That's a pretty big shoe to fill, even by the same author. I knew this book was coming out but had lost track of it, reminded only when discussing the nominees for the Arthur C. Clarke Award,

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.

The Book of Phoenix is a beautifully written tale, combining elements of fantasy & mythology with very cool science fiction (Anansi droids, anyone?). It is a story of love, death, friendship and a battle for justice/redemption. I really enjoyed this one and can see why it has been nominated for the Arthur C Clarke award - totally deserving.

Such an interesting, fascinating story of self-discovery and revenge. Sadly I felt that it fizzled out a bit in the end. I almost wish it hadnt been a precurser to Who Fears Death, the two books are remarkably different in style and Id almost forgotten they were connected until the very end. Still, well written and culturally informative as well, which is a thing I love about Nnedi.

I first became aware of Nnedi Okorafor because of a short story I read called Spider the Artist. I sought out her other works, and I found myself totally wrapped up in a story that I later learned would be at the heart of the The Book of Phoenix. Phoenix and her story exist in that shimmering space that marks where science fiction and magical realism overlap. Science, for better or for worse, drives the narrative. It is the thing that helped make Phoenix and the others who they are, and it is

Im only doing what Im made to do - taking life. I will take it all. I am a hurricane of death and destruction. I am villain.

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
