DNF.

I made it about halfway through this book before deciding to abandon it. I was bored. The characters didn't feel like they were going anywhere and the adventure seemed frivolous. I think the unfamiliar West-African roots of the mythology and accent of the reader (I did the audiobook) kept me engaged far longer than I would have been normally. I thought it was hiding something deeper and more interesting, but at its heart this feels like a rather generic Y/A fantasy.
