pawnyprince 's review for:
David Mogo, Godhunter
by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
I enjoyed this book a lot! I found myself loving David Mogo, Papa Udi, and Fati aka the perfect family there is. The humans of the story were amazing, I hated most of the Gods because of selfish and rude they were but that's to be expected... they're Gods. The story left me stressed and on the edge of my seat as I watched David fight various Gods, protect his family, and save Lagos at every twist and turn. I did have a difficult time understanding Papa Udi but I didn't care too much! It didn't take me out of the story, honestly, as I kept reading, the more I was able to understand that he was saying.
I will say, one thing I did not like was how powerless David was. We're made to believe that he's this powerful guy and the only one who can defeat Aganju. But even towards the end, I couldn't imagine or believe that David was going to win. Like, yeah, it makes sense that a demigod can't beat a God so easily but still.... he's the main character of this story. And as the main character, as the hero... we as readers should have faith that the hero will win. I don't know! Maybe that's just me!
Oh, and I hated!! How the Gods always got mad at David for not knowing something when none of them explained anything to him. Oh that irked me so bad, why are Gods like this agioajgioajga.
Overall, I enjoyed myself!
