Booklist - 07/01/2022 This Afrofuturist tale about a fantastical Ethiopian empire follows Yared Heywat’s adventures as an AR game comes to life and wrecks his home planet. Yared has lived a solitary life, along with his bionic pet lioness and eccentric uncle Moti, but when the game goes awry, summoning dangerous monsters bent on ruining the city, and his uncle disappears, Yared suspects that the stories he was told growing up hold more truth than he knew. Working with his lioness and Ibis, a former game enemy and now his only ally, Yared must uncover the truth as the entire universe is rocked by these new foes. Weaving together elements of both classic fantasy and sci-fi, Mbalia and Makonnen have created a stellar tale packed with plenty of action, poignant moments, solid world building steeped in real-life cultural traditions, and characters easy to root for from the very beginning of what is most definitely the start of a new story line, with more to come. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
