A slightly future\/altered Lagos, Nigeria, is the setting and\nthe heart of David Mogo, Godhunter<\/em>.\nIt is squarely in the middle of the contemporary urban fantasy tradition–the\none with Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher, not the one that’s a sub-genre of\nromance. And that combination of factors changes the beats and the shape of the\nstory completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Mogo is half-orisha. He is learning who he is and who\nhe wants to be. This is a very coming of age sort of book. But coming of age as\nthe son of a god in a ravaged natural and magical landscape is anything but a\nstandard tale. David’s care for his family, his chosen companions, his\nsurroundings, infuse this book with an intensity that makes it a page-turner\nevery bit as much as its dramatic action scenes do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review copy provided by publisher.
