David Mogo, Godhunter by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

4.0

I really wanted to love this book because I loved the idea of it. I love the premise, the setting, the realistic code-switching narrative style, the fact that it is a new-to-me author. The characters have a ton of potential and the use of gods from different cultures gives the author a ton of myth and symbols to work with. But - it read like a super hero movie, jumping from fight scene to fight scene with no pauses for character development, side plots or dives in to the history of this world the narrator finds himself in. I'd still recommend it as a quick, digestible read.
