I love how Talabi writes - that said I actually prefer his characterization of Shigidi in his short story collection.
This book was fun, a healthy mix of romance, sex, and adventure. But it was missing an element of characterization that I craved. I just found myself not caring for or rooting for anyone as much as I am used to. That said the scene setting was lovely, and I did feel like I was right next to the characters.
