I finished this book a year or so ago, after reading about it online and then my Cousin ended up buying a copy for me for Christmas. I have never read a fiction book so completely seeped in African culture and Mythology, and it was pretty amazing. The story is full of magic, action, love, quests and adventure, war and warriors, mystery, Gods and Goddesses, ancient relics and ruins, and defiantly checks all the boxes. The narrator who does the audiobook for Audible is amazing as well, and really helps with some of the pronunciations, and adds to the immersion of the story with her thick accent. The sequel is currently in my “to-be-read” pile, and I can’t wait to find out what happens. Highly recommended.
