Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon by Wole Talabi

2.75

---

I love a good supernatural tale, but Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The premise had promise, but the world-building felt too sparse, leaving me wanting more depth. By the end, I still didn’t feel like I truly knew the characters, and the connection between Nneoma and Shigidi lacked the emotional weight to make their relationship believable. I stuck with it, but I was tempted to DNF - not because it was bad, but because it didn’t fully draw me in.
