20 Must-Read African Fantasy Novels to Check Out Right Now

'One of the main joys of reading fantasy is experiencing entirely new worlds and ideas and magic. But when every fantasy novel is based on a pseudo-medieval Europe, it kind of defeats the point. That's why I seek out fantasy from around the world.
These 20 African fantasy novels explore entirely new worlds, utilize fun and inventive magic in our own world, and/or add surrealist twists to an otherwise normal setting.'
