This book was a slow start. I believe the need to have a strong foundation led to the book being slow in the beginning. This West African inspired fantasy series allows for strong character building, world development, and even tone story pace.
This book did not go where I thought it would. There are brief breaks in the story that confused me, but as I continued those random story breaks make sense. I say 8/10 and full recommend.

I will say the unnamed Orisha - that story got me in a choke hold. I will be adding the next book in the series, because I need to know what will happen next. Now the foundation has been laid in book 1, we can get to all the crazy in book 2.
This book is not for the faint of heart! I was clutching my invisible pearls in some moments. I will say be prepared for crazy family dynamics, war, and heartbreak.
