Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon

This was an interesting book. It is based in Nigerian mythology as well as a sprinkling of other myths and religions. The story is basically a heist tale, but with lots of world building around the mythology. It made for generally fun book, although, the jumping around of the timelines was a little confusing. And, as usual, it is always fun to get out of Euro-based fantasy. Overall, I really liked the book. It was nominated for 2023 Nebula and British Science Fiction Awards and won the Nommo Award, which is for African Science Fiction and Fantasy.
