""The novel takes place in a post-apocalyptic future version of Sudan, where the light-skinned Nuru oppress the dark-skinned Okeke. The protagonist, Onyesonwu (Igbo for "who fears death"), is an Ewu, i.e. the child of an Okeke woman raped by a Nuru man. On reaching maturity, she goes on a quest to defeat her sorcerous father Daib using her magical powers.""

The book is not written by him so I doubt it, I am sure they have brought him on for advise and to put his name to it.

I was kind of hoping it would be an african GOTs based off of ancient swahili, but this will do.

This is hbo and Martin so I'll trust the process on casting and settings

More black shows are a good thing, especially something different from the usual :ehh:

Anything that gives more opportunities for people who don't get as much in that industry is a great thing. Latinos and Asian actors would kill to have shows centered around them and their experiences, so hopefully this opens the door for stories of more ethnic cultures in America that are rarely represented well or accurately.
