I find it interesting how each Nigerian mythological character is explained with both words and images. As someone who has read the books, it was hard at times to get a visual of these characters even though they were mentioned. I think having the visuals adds an extra layer to the understanding because it gives the audience something to consider. Overall, the blog is fascinating because it can be used as a glossary while people read the works. It becomes a useful educational tool when looking at African speculative fiction and the ties that these works have to African folklore. Readers can start to understand the significance that Papa Legba or Anansi plays in the story based on the myth behind them.
