[Nina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this anthology. African mythology os so underrated and these stories bring out the richness our stories have, the myths our grandparents told us about and the praise we've had buried too long.

I loved the last book so much. It's crisp, enchanting and flows so well.

A sweet meal of African magic, romance and authors to look out for.
