I certainly enjoyed the fresh attempt at new types of vampires from the familiar 13 clans, whilst it still being clear which progenitor they originated from. Still things felt a little off though, like how Malkavians and Ventrue aren't prevalent in the continent despite thousands of years of contact. And how homogenous many of 'legacies' are despite the vastness of the continent and thousands of years of cultural separation (the Shango, who revere only a Yoruba-specific god, is a good example of this), and could have benefitted from at least a cursory glance at 'bloodlines' and legacy variants that have developed across the millennia.

The stereotypes of the 'dark continent' are leaned into here, but that didn't bother me too much, since I understand that this is the World of Darkness, and all the darkness of our own world is dialled up to 11. So of course government corruption, civil war and smuggling are going to be emphasised in a WoD book about Africa, just like how police corruption, government surveillance, gang warfare and terrorism are emphasised in WoD books about Europe and North America.

On the whole I enjoyed this book but felt it could have gone further and deeper and more detailed with its lore to improve the depth and realism of Africa in the WoD.
