Liked this book quite a bit, even more than the first one. The author has really researched her depth of West African folklore and culture. Love that we get to go to Lagos, even if briefly. The relationship writing isn't the best, particularly the minor romance elements, but the story and main character and world are all so great it doesn't much matter. Excellent fun.
