In the Shadow of the Fall by Tobi Ogundiran
5.0
This novella is an absolute dream. As someone who love folklore and mythology from around the world I was so happy to see a book inspired by Yoruba mythology. I do admit I don’t know as much as I would like about this particular mythology but it didn’t stop me enjoying the novella one little bit, if anything it made it more enjoyable.
The story is so well crafted and the writing is beautiful in that it is easy to follow and become immersed in. Our heroine was a dream, Ashâke was driven and dedicated and most of all strong. I adored following her journey. My only ‘problem’ is I want so much more in this world and of these characters. I really hope Ogundiran brings back Ashâke and we can learn more about her and her world.
If you are lover of fantasy you are sure to love this novella. I devoured it in one sitting but I know I will be re-reading very soon.
Thank you so much to Titan Books and Netgalley for my copy. My review is left voluntarily and is honest.
