"It's immediately obvious the two [Shobo and Shof Coker] are passionate about the world they are building. They are incorporating different aspects of their culture: shared mythology, religion, history... The variety of African influences is evident and aesthetically the book is a fantastic dictionary of Afrofuturist elements." -Black Nerd Problems
“Shobo and Shof give us an original, beautifully crafted sci-fi with New Masters. It's an incredible debut from a distinctly African perspective.
