Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon by Wole Talabi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had a really fun time with this. Lagos-centric fantasy, a pantheon true to the area, with all the crossovers we've come to expect, building an American Gods-type story, with a nightmare god and a succubus's love story through centuries. With all the power-politics and Spirit Company BS that implies.

I definitely had some cool vibes, thinking of Clive Barker's Abarat. The trials and tribulations of love within immortals.

What can I say? I love pantheons of gods and the down-to-earth ways to write them. The adventure, the whole "one last job" vibe was simply a lot of fun.
