For white western readers, this book is a culture shock. The description of a dark, hallucinatory Africa is apt. The characters, introduction to African culture as only dark high fantasy can do, and magical setting is the perfect start to a brilliant trilogy. Western Readers should be prepared for a dive into an entirely new and different culture, story, and rules.
