In an alternate New Orleans caught in the tangle of the American Civil War, the wall-scaling girl named Creeper yearns to escape the streets for the air—in particular, by earning a spot on-board the airship Midnight Robber. Creeper plans to earn Captain Ann-Marie’s trust with information she discovers about a Haitian scientist and a mysterious weapon he calls The Black God’s Drums.

But Creeper also has a secret herself: Oya, the African orisha of the wind and storms, speaks inside her head, and may have her own ulterior motivations.

Soon, Creeper, Oya, and the crew of the Midnight Robber are pulled into a perilous mission aimed to stop the Black God’s Drums from being unleashed and wiping out the entirety of New Orleans.

Review of 'Los Tambores del Dios Negro' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Novelón de tan solo 132 páginas. Aventuras, espionaje, máquinas capaces de aniquilar países y ¡dirigibles! Porque aquí hay muchas magia y mucho steampunk, además de una protagonista carismática y una ambientación espectacular. Una historia redonda que te deja con ganas de más porque es imposible no devorarla de una sentada.

Nada relaciona directamente esta novela con el universo de El Señor de los Djinn pero para mi tiene mucho sentido así que de este burro no me baja nadie
