This book was so good! There were wonderful tropes I love and also magic and mythology I hadn’t heard before. I love fantasy stories that include mythology based off of places on Earth. This was based of West and North African Folktales.

Not the 5 star read I was predicting, but I devoured this!  I loved the characters and the world, and the magic system was very unique.
