If you're into Yoruba Mythology, I think this is the darkest YA within the mythology that I've read yet. I thoroughly enjoyed the massive twists at the end (thank god, because otherwise it would have felt predictable) and can't wait for the second book.

This book came with the trigger warning but it did not let you take a second away from them. It was a very dark and hard read.

pikitat's review against another edition

just too dense. wasn't into it + didn't love the writing and didn't really want to read more 
(I skimmed through to the ending and it was kind of interesting but not enough so that I wanted to keep reading)
