With precision and clarity, Bayo Gbadamosi narrates Book 2 of the Wormwood Trilogy, making this Afrofuturistic novel set in Nigeria come alive. At first, he employs a Nigerian accent that draws the listener in. Then his accent and tone change as the story presents multiple points of view. Throughout, Gbadamosi delivers each word with a sort of permanence that speaks to the steadiness and believability he brings to the novel's many characters. The various first- and third-person narrations are a blend of voices describing a force that poses a threat to human existence. This exciting, fast-paced story leaves the listener eager to know what's coming in Book 3, to be released this fall. T.E.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2019]
