If you love immersing yourself in rich storytelling, crossovers between modern and mythical, with a strong emotional base and strong cultural hues, then this book is definiteky up your alley.
This felt like an ode to Ghanian myths a la Heroes of Olympus, with Gods, magic systems and mythical creatures being introduced incrementally, adding to the storyline. I love the way the stories intersect with department memes and the intersection of magic and law enforcement was handled well!
I enjoyed the nuances, shadow dragons and especially relished the Ghanian tales - the seamless infusion of details like hair styles, clothes and foods enhance the reading experience!
It is a fantastic start to a series with strong characters and a curiously story infused mythical backbone!
My thank yous to Scholastic Press and Netgalley for granting my wish!!
