Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
Òdòdó's hometown of Timbuktu has been conquered by the warrior king of Yorùbáland. Already shunned as social pariahs, living conditions for Òdòdó and the other women in her blacksmith guild grow even worse under Yorùbá rule.Then Òdòdó is abducted. She is whisked across the Sahara to the capital city of Ṣàngótẹ̀, where she is shocked to discover that her kidnapper is none other than the vagrant who had visited her guild just days prior. But now that he is swathed in riches rather than rags, Òdòdó realizes he is not a vagrant at all.

Wow, my first audiobook.

This was so well done. I felt immersed in the book and couldn’t stop listening. Ariel’s voice and accent were perfect and I felt like I was in Western Africa, just different than the voice I use in my head when reading by myself. The intro and ending music was divine and set the tone. The story was amazing, and it kept me guessing and intrigued done e tire time. The growth and change in the characters was well developed and believable. This is my first historical fiction and now I need more with this setting!
