Morality and Chilvary
Is Everything : Ovo Adagha is at it again. He has a critical review of
Finding Love Again on Angie’s Diary. I like Angie’s diary. Not just for its
colorfulness but for the wealth of information it contains. It was nice reading
one of Ovo’s pieces on this website. An excerpt:
”
I like the tone of this novel. The
tension of the narrative climaxes in the opening pages of the novel, ushering
us into the emotional wreckage of Kambi’s life. Yet it is entertaining and
hopeful at the same time. In this novel, love, passion and friendship, are some
of the items that permit us to share the turning point in the life of a young
lady who is seeking to control the tone of her relationship. Through the
narrator’s introspection, the writer shows great capacity to surprise the reader
with passages written in a compelling fashion.”
“I was going to write speculative fiction, like the sci-fi and fantasy books
I’d spent so much of my younger life reading. I was going to be a PoC writing
awesome speculative fiction that no one had seen before, away from the
run-of-the mill elves, dwarves and what-not. And the very novelty of my work
would gain accolades and applause.”
