Why read it?
1 author picked Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Now, this is a makeover. Minor Nigerian god Shigidi is ugly, low-status, and neglected, but he can’t quit his job: that’s just not an option when you’re a god. Unless a powerful succubus needs a sidekick to pull off an interdimensional heist.
This book was a ride, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Sort of crime-spree-meets-spiritual-reckoning, Shigidi has romance, action, and that all-important (to me) opportunity to find out who exactly you can be when you drop all the pre-conditions. I’m hoping for a sequel.
From Catherine's list on fiction about reinventing yourself.
