4.0

Another favorite novel of the dozens I’ve read so far in 2021. Lyrical language, interesting characters, a touch of historical knowledge, and a fair amount of straight-up action. Read if you like: Homegoing, classical myths, complicated superheroes, strong women, magical realism, historical novels, Africa.
