Amazing book with riveting storytelling. Would have been the exact book I would have wanted to read (and nearly shredded a copy of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys in front of White librarians when I was a teen who wanted Black books to read and they gave me that over). 

Brilliant and a perfect book for Black teens, especially boys, who want to read fantasy with a bit of sci-fi (or anything isekai style) with realistic characters and no race pain/Black trauma storylines (because those storylines are made for the White readers that can't get enough of Black suffering, not for Black folks who simply want something fun to read) and is penned by someone Black. The writer handles writing women characters well, also! Great book! Better than most I have read on fantasy, definitely won't put you to sleep like the classics. The chapters are filled with action and awesome
