I wish it was longer so I could have savoured it even more.
Follow Yomi and her brother into a dark world of mystery and Magic as a trip to Gambia turns into an aggressive fight for the freedom of the all powerful Ninki Nanka.
This book takes you on a mystical journey across deadly rivers entwined dangerously with the monsters of the deep, over puffy white clouds and into darkened basements.
I loved how mythology was woven into this delightful read I ran through the labyrinth of its story. I plunged headfirst into the river of imagination flowing from this book.
My favourite character was Yomi as she is brave and ready to do anything to vanquish the malicious desires of evil. From saving her brother from deadly sea creatures to saving Ninki Nanka from the malevolent hunters, she was never hesitant to take a challenge. I found that her brother Kayode was cowardly and unhelpful.
I loved this book but I wish it was longer so I could have savoured it even more.
Incredible, awesome and a fun adventure book.
We really liked the whole adventure of Yomi, it was very good. We loved that they went on an adventure to save the dragon king and that they got to meet all the awesome beasts.
