With his latest book, he's clearly outdone his own freakishly scary-good standards. And, in years to come, he'll be heralded as one of the very elite authors to have ever penned a letter in the genre.

As usual, I have nothing but praise for Efua's writing. It's easy to read, and you're sure to stay glued to the story.
It also highlights that love is a choice and way beyond feelings because feelings can be fickle. It reminds us that sometimes, sustaining our friendships can be pretty tricky.
In the place of complex characters and elaborate settings, the author builds on the magic system and the world lore, both of which are done fairly well.
A father pawning off his daughter and a king betraying his queen are just hors d'oeuvre to the main course ahead.
I never thought that being Ghanaian and living in Ghana was all the impediment needed to alienate me from my dreams.
The author serves the whole book in bite-sized morsels, allowing you to digest each moment without feeling overwhelmed.
The language is impeccable, and I totally recommend this book without any reservations and with all the gods in my village backing me.
Since this is a war fantasy, many well-depicted fight scenes exist. The magic wasn't well explained, but I still loved it
I’m not sure this review can do justice to how I feel about this book but I really want more people to add it to their tbr list and read it.
I have reread it for the 100th time since its release, and I still do not feel full... I very much recommend this book with all the gods in my village backing me!
One of my most beloved things in the book was the characters. They're brave, petulant, criminal, and amusing.
