the mystery aspect of this is wonderful. just when i think things are strange enough, they get stranger.

i really like the writing in act ii so far. specifically the standalone chapters from random people throughout lagos. these parts are kinda more interesting than the main plot right now.

the plot has thickened in a way i never foresaw…

“my idiot husband is right. i am a witch.” 😭

seems like ayodele changed her mind about humans really quickly

cool. i don’t really have anything to say, but i’m glad more is happening.

okay now we’re getting somewhere

a kiss already? that seemed quick.

idk if it’s because i’m rereading, but it really feels like this book should be more interesting than it is. it has all the makings of stories i like plus it’s set in the country of my people, but as i’m reading i just have the sense that i’m waiting for the plot to really start moving. i’m hoping once i pass where i stopped last time, the novelty of the rest of the story will capture my interest more.

i didn’t finish this book the last time i read it, but i’m starting over. i still find the premise interesting and love that it’s set in lagos, so hopefully i’ll get through it this time.
