Nigerian God-Punk - a powerful and atmospheric urban fantasy set in Lagos.

Since the Orisha …

Wish it was better

I don't usually give 2 stars to books unless they're really incompetently written or personally offensive, which this book wasn't. Still, somehow David Mogo - Godhunter left me utterly unmoved and uninterested. Nothing here seemed to have a shred of charm or personality, stuff kept happening with somewhat annoying predictability and ... I don't know, I don't even think this is urban fantasy, it's just straight fantasy where the fantastical stomps all over the familiar, until you might as well be reading high fantasy. Not my thing.
