![]() ![]() The author’s blend of mythological accuracy and standard YA tropes is impressive, as she adds her own perchant for the spectacular into the mix. It incorporates elements of this inside of its pages, to great effect too… I shan’t give any spoilers…īlood Scion is epic fantasy based on the Yoruba culture, of Yoruba lore and mythology. For me, your work has now become the standard for African Mytho-Fantasy, at least until you go one better by giving us an even more impressive sequel to Blood Scion. ![]() Of all the writers I know who have delved into this particular mythology (a certain, ahem, Tomi Adeyemi, inclusive), your work stands head and shoulders above them all. You are a writer of considerable potential (I believe you can do so much more), and I’m truly amazed at your natural talent. ![]() Instead, I will begin by thanking you for introducing our lore and mythology to the West in such a brilliant manner. Falaye, I will not dwell too much on the astounding cover (sentiments well documented). First will come an open, short message to the author. Resulting from my present state of elation, I shall be writing this review in a different way. ![]()
