The magic system is amazing

Each character is portrayed in all the gory glory of abuses suffered, dashed hopes, false prophecies, and all of the vices that infest human society.

…she leaves no stone unturned in her bid to deliver incisive, accurate, and deliciously exciting Yoruba mytho-fantasy.

The scattergun approach is not even supposed to work, but yet it has. And beautifully so. Just brilliant!

It’s an excellent first book in a promising new series

But if you, like me have a taste for the inherently dark, then I advise you to start this journey. It will most certainly be worth it at the end

It’s fantasy with magic and guns

Whether dumb stupid like Sansa, or foolish honour like Eddard, the characters draw you in, making you laugh and cry along with them, make you feel exactly what it is they’re feeling.
