Absolutely loved this. It was a little bit of a head-spinner to jump into, but I chalk that entirely up to my lack of familiarity with the Yoruba pantheon. I genuinely can't overstate how much I would gobble up a screen adaptation of this. I loved the main character; Shigidi really goes on a journey and I found it surprisingly relatable. Would happily consume another story in this world or something else entirely by the author.
