definitely loses something towards the second half of the book, but this has been a common point considering the circumstances of the novel's publication. the most arresting parts of the novel are its 1st half - steeped in yoruba culture, with the singing of the drums, the ubiquity of the orisas and people's relationships to one another. the collision of religions in the early colonial period was also a point of interest. the work just *almost* starts to comment on ajayi's complicity in the english colonial project, but that's not what it's about. if anything it just brought out my ambivalence towards crowther as a figure. looking forwards to rereading this one. might grab the paperback
