What a debut novel! Love the Pan-African, mythology-inspired fantasy. I can‘t speak for accuracy or representation, but as a white European person I really enjoyed diving into this book and being led by the author and her detailed, enthralling descriptions of characters and storylines. I look forward to reading the second volume, the plot twist at the end was well put and definitely does its job.
