Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon by Wole Talabi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
DNFed 03/2025
Shigidi and Nneoma feel like caricatures of masculinity and femininity. He's tall and heavily muscled, as the book keeps reminding me, and she's all breasts and hips and raw sex appeal. She is, unsuprisingly, a succubus, because what else could a female spirit be? Certainly not a uniquely talented nightmare god. She has sex three times in the first five chapters, and the emphasis is always on male pleasure derived from her body, and frankly it's all rather wearying. Plus, the writing isn't good enough to make this story of spirit companies and supernatural corporate espionage gripping.
