Well, I enjoyed the African folklore aspects of this much-hyped YA novel, which are achingly rare in English-language literature. But it just wasn't very well written. Derivative on a macro level (Last Airbender and Hunger Games echoes abound), and stilted on a micro level (far too many repetitive adjectives) so that, despite all the fights and death, it was actually rather boring and unsubtle.
