I'd be interested to know what you think of it when you finish, and how you think it compares to Amina Al-Sirafy. Incidentally, I came across this title when I was poking around on Kobo - https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/acc...hina-and-india - so I guess that's where the inspiration for that one comes from.

I think I'll start the al-Sirafi novel first, after I finish the 4 or 5 novels/story collections I'm currently reading.

Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon by Wole Talabi is 3 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist. Nominated for the Nebula.

Shigidi is a disgruntled nightmare god in the Orisha spirit company, reluctantly answering the prayers of his few remaining believers to satisfy the demands of the company board. When he meets Nneoma, a sort-of succubus with a long and secretive past, everything changes.

Together, they attempt to break free of their constraints and live on their owns terms. But the elder gods have other plans for Shigidi, and the Orisha Spirit Company is not so easy to leave. The chairman has a final job for Shigidi and Nneoma, one that will take them to the very heart of the British Museum.

From the boisterous streets of Lagos to the rooftop bars of Singapore and the secret spaces of London, Shigidi and Nneoma will encounter strange creatures, rival gods and manipulative magicians as they are drawn into a spectacular heist that spans two realms . . . and which could turn their own worlds upside down . . .
