There’s something you do not read everyday. The Wormwood series is not such a tale it’s a futuristic, science fiction fantasy that will require you to suspend disbelief and conjure up from your imagination to immerse yourself in the world of Rosewater at the frontier of a space invasion, yes, aliens in Africa. Most African literature reads like fictional biographies, literary works firmly grounded in reality that they feel like a story that could have happened to you or someone you know, relatable and familiar. Even if I had not had the word at the tip of my thoughts I would have read the books since I trust Mable’s taste in literature because apparently my love for Speculative African Fantasy is infectious. The word wormwood was rattling about in my head when the book series The Wormwood Trilogy landed on the lap of my awareness, courtesy of Mable. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter.” Rev 8:10–11 “The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. Artemisia Annua is also known as wormwood, due to its bitter taste, a name which has roots in the New Testament book of Revelations: Sometimes life is littered with crazy coincidences… I was reading up on Madagascar’s “ miracle cure” for the coronavirus derived from the Artemisia Annua plant.
