The literary merit of Not So Terrible People bleeds from every aspect of it. Consistent Language, Fantastic Beginning, Cohesive Narrative and it proves its premise wonderfully. I say this is not just a collection of short stories. It is a novel.
On the surface level of this collection, we have human stories woven around a train attack. We explore humanity. We dive into the drama. Underneath the paint, Nana Sule expertly weaves in a far much bigger plot, one that actually crosses universes. A plot where a faction of supernatural beings has concocted a plan across several dimensions, involving multiple beings, to cause the reincarnation of Iblis.
This deep plot, this conspiracy has been hiding in the shadows of the events surrounding the people.
It is brilliant. It is cheeky. It is intentional.

Book Review of Not So terrible people by Nana Sule.
This collection of short stories promises to enthrall you.
It artfully shows how a story can be woven through the perspective of different players and still connect itself so seamlessly.
It was set in Kurmi, Kano and Abuja
Explores themes of trauma, marriage , friendship, the frailty of family and the cracks that we love through.
It so carefully reminds us that things in this world aren’t always as they seem at face value.
I loved that I couldn’t put it down once I started , I loved that it I could see places i recognized in it and definitely enjoyed going a bit deeper into fantasy/mythology.
I recommend if you’re looking for a short story collection to add to your TBR, which explores the north, and will keep you waiting for the next piece of the story.

Not so terrible people by Nana Sule is a collection of short stories that explore different perspectives of life and death.
The very first story had me completely hooked, and the rest of the book turned out to be a very interesting read. Each story was beautifully written and the author somehow managed to link them together smoothly.
I also loved how Nana Sule approached the subject of death an interesting and refreshing tone.

Not so terrible people by Nana Sule is a set of interconnected stories told fron the Pov of ghosts, humans, angels, Djinns written brilliantly and beautifully.
I enjoyed it so much. It's a fusion of the physical, metaphysical realm and everything in between.
it was sweet, short and would be in my heart for a while

I’ve never met a collection of interconnected stories I didn’t love, and this book is no exception. Perfect for lovers of Pemi Aguda’s writing, Nana Sule’s book is not something you can put down once you pick it up.
