Beast Made of Night is a 2017 young adult fantasy novel by Nigerian-American novelist Tochi Onyebuchi. [1] It is the first book in a duology set in a magical world inspired by Nigeria. [2]
Beast Made of Night received positive reviews for its world building and themes. A review from NPR lauded the novel as the beginning of a great saga. [3] In a starred review, Kirkus praised it as a story that "moves beyond the boom-bang, boring theology of so many fantasies—and, in the process, creates, almost griotlike, a paean to an emerging black legend". [4] Time recognized the book as one of the 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, praising Onyebuchi's creativity and world building. [5]
A sequel, Crown of Thunder, was released by Razorbill in 2018. [7]
