My holiday reading begins with The Merciless Ones, the second young adult novel by Namina Forna. It’s the middle volume in a speculative fiction trilogy that follows the journey of an army of near-immortal young women battling ancient gods. Forna is writing in a burgeoning genre of African sci-fi that draws on the cosmologies and storytelling traditions of African cultures and religions. One of the most exciting debut writers I’ve come across recently.
