I love love Ekon and Koffi. The whole Daraja concept and all. At first, I was surprised to see some Nigerian elements(I didn't know it was a Nigerian fantasy) but upon finishing the book it all makes sense now. It's an African fantasy(a mixture of different African countries' myths and cultures) I'm happy with reading this book. Can't wait to start the second book

The authors imagination knows no bounds. Some of the animals they came up with were truly terrifying. I enjoyed this book and want to know what is in stall next for Koffi and Ekon. The shifting perspectives was confusing at first, but once I figured out what was happening I got into the characters.
