- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

Simple in the way that works drawing on oral tradition often are, but more complex below the surface! I always like the use of repetition, throw in a quest, trials to overcome, a sprawling journey rooted in the landscape of Kenya and some genuinely kick ass women and you've got a fun time!

i want to blame this on my lack of cultural understanding that gives context to this novel. without understanding how the origin myth connects to other myths or current day situations in kenya/what became of the perfect 9 tribes
