review:
'The Black God's Drum' by P. Djèlí Clark is a novella set in an alternate New Orleans of steam and voodoo.

The story stars street-smart Creeper who is intent on making her way aboard an airship. She also has a pretty big secret living inside her, Oya, a god of the wind. When she finds out about a potent weapon that could be used against her friends and city, she smuggles aboard an airship named Midnight Robber and tries to stop the weapon known as The Black God's Drum.

I found this alternate world fresh and really appealing. I've read any number of steampunk style books, some better than others. The addition of the city of New Orleans, the magic system, and some memorable characters made this a fun, quick read.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Macmillan-Tor/Forge and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
