I really liked things fall apart by this author, and I did like Arrow of God but I did find it a bit hard to get through at some point, and I also prefer the voice of the first book over this one, I didn't enjoy reading from the white perspective as much but overall still beautiful written, and still very excited to read the final book.
This book is pretty similar to “things fall apart”. The main character, a preast of the most powerfull Igbo God, Ulu gets in trouble. By Faithfully serving his God it ultimately brings his people against him. The people are not ready anymore to make the ultimate sacrifices for their God, but end up Choosing christianity instead.
