Nigerian God-Punk - a powerful and atmospheric urban fantasy set in Lagos. Since the Orisha War that rained thousands of deities down on the streets of Lagos, David Mogo, demigod, scours Eko’s dank underbelly for a living wage as a freelance Godhunter. Despite pulling his biggest feat yet by capturing a high god for a renowned Eko wizard, David knows his job’s bad luck. He’s proved right when the wizard conjures a legion of Taboos—feral godling-child hybrids—to seize Lagos for himself. To fix his mistake and keep Lagos standing, David teams up with his foster wizard, the high god’s twin sister and a speech-impaired Muslim teenage girl to defeat the wizard.

After a failed coup in the realm of the gods, the losing side are tossed out and come down to occupy Lagos, trying to make it their base to take over this world.

I really wanted to like this and it kept feeling like it was on the verge of becoming something really good but in the end even the climactic battle was just tedious.

Smrloomis Darn. The premise sounds good so that‘s disappointing! 3y

Mehso-so

A Nigerian urban fantasy set after a godpocalypse, I think this would make an epic graphic novel. It‘s full of superhuman feats, raging gods and gritty endurance. It‘s really three novellas stacked together rather a novel, which left me frustrated as I found it light on character and too action-focused. However, Okungbowa has a strong vision, and I‘m curious to see what he dreams up in future.

Working my way back to reading for fun. This looks to be Marlowe-esque. That is, if Philip Marlowe hunted gods and was a demigod himself.

This book sounds really great, plus it‘s on kindle for $0.99 right now! Wow! David is part human and part orisha and is on a hero‘s journey through post apocalyptic Lagos. This sounds amazing and I snapped it right up.

As I usually do when I‘m on the fence about a book, I checked the goodreads reviews. Unfortunately, the info-dump inner monologue narration, which was a large part of what I found off-putting, is a key feature throughout the entire book. I‘ve got a huge stack of books to get to so I‘m not wasting any more time pushing through this. I love the cover but not what‘s between the them.

Another book I‘m on the fence about. 60 pages in and I‘m still not hooked. The cover is absolutely breathtaking though.
