Forest of A Thousand Daemons

(2.5/5) 1 hour 48 minutes - It's hard to rate and review and give opinions on a book written about a culture I am unfamiliar with from a period time long before I was born. I have read that the English translation I have read is a very good preservation of the original story written in Yoruba. I'm not going to say that I enjoyed reading this book, but I definitely didn't hate it. There were even points where I wanted to keep reading despite my intention to stop. Certain aspects of the story were interesting, but there was just a lot that wasn't in between. The shift of perspective in the second half of the novel was also off-putting, as I forgot that it was part of the original plot-line and not a completely separate part of the book. However, I must say that I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to, which is a plus.
