God-punk, urban fantasy, set in Nigeria. Wish this were a series. Better than Jim Butcher.

Feel kinda bad for the rating but it is what it is. The core conflict of the book is a struggle between gods and humans (to put it incredibly simply) and I think I'm finding I don't really care about those stories anymore. There's just too many logistics I think about and things I wonder.
As the book was, I wish we got to see how the world was operating after the Fall and just more of the characters outside of the action scenes they were placed into.

I loved the general idea of this book and enjoyed the setting. The main character is something i struggled with. Good thing: he is definitely no Mary Sue. Unfortunately, he is mainly pushed around by the events, his main skill is getting captured and the one time he acts voluntaritly is when everyone around him is telling him to stop because he is being stupid. That made it hard for me to root for him and lessened my enjoyment of the story considerably.

It's always cool to see a new place and new pantheons, but this book was such a drag that I couldn't enjoy any of it.
a weirdly structured book, it feels more like three novellas with the same overarching plot rather than an actual cohesive narrative. That being said it was fun! I had a good time, I enjoyed the character of David Mogo (Godhunter), though it’s kind of weird how much significant plot stuff happens just completely off screen for the sake of twists, which feels kind of lazy because they’re not foreshadowed in a way that lets you predict them.
