Captain Pixie Sunshine 04.09.2022
Onyeka is a fiction book about Solari (like superheros). It has a lovely front cover which intrigued me but since it isn't really my genre I didn't particularly enjoy it. My favourite character is Adanna and I recommend this book to people interested in fiction and fantasy books.
Director Sunny Tinkle 28.08.2022
Love her hair
Lady Letizia Quest 24.08.2022
This book is different to most books I read; it is an interesting tale in which Onyeka can control her hair with her mind. I think anyone who enjoyed Amari and the Night Brothers might like this one and I am looking forward to the second in this series called Onyeka and the Legacy of the Solari.
