RaveThe A.V. ClubNnedi Okorafor has an uncanny ability for creating intriguing survival tales within grandiose Africanfuturist worlds ... The author immediately thrusts readers into the thick of the action ... Okorafor excels in fast-paced narratives ... She doesn’t get caught up in the nitty-gritty details, instead painting vivid images with broad strokes. Noor is around 200 pages long and moves briskly, yet still fleshes out the harrowing complexities of late-stage capitalism, colonialism, perceived disability, and climate change ... Okorafor crafts an unconventional hero’s tale that calls into question what we’re willing to lose for a better future.
