This was so so so good. I always trust P. Djèli Clark to get me
out of a reading slump and he did it once more. 

This story was so fresh, i’ve never read anything related to the Orishas and it was so interesting to see this take on Oya, Oshun, and Shango because I’ve grown up hearing so much about them. 

Would love to read more in this world, maybe a future story of Jacqueline being grown and working in the airship with the Captain.
