Audiobook 2 of The Desert Magician's Duology continues the explosive Afrofuturistic story with the return of the powerful rainmaker Dikéogu and the shadow speaker Ejii. The geographical details set the story in a dystopian West Africa. Actor and producer Délé Ogundiran narrates this first-person story of the rainmaker, set in the year 2077. The steady, carefully enunciated narration represents the main character's oral journaling, which recounts the traumatic events occurring during a genocidal war. There aren't many pitch variations, yet Ogundiran emotes deep emotions at a good vocal pace. Warmth, calm, and urgency come through as she speaks. This heartrending audio journey is worth experiencing. T.E.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2023]
