This was so good! When done right a novella can seem like a standard length novel and this packed a punch. It actually left me reallllly intrigued to learn more about the Orishas. I’ve never been able to stick with a book with African mythology just because of the lack of knowledge but this book wasn’t too much and gave you what you needed to still be able to enjoy the story! I believe this is book 1 in a novella duology! Really excited for book 2 and the journey in which our MC continues!

Thank you to the publisher TorDotComPub for an ARC copy of this book.
