Hyperbole:

"There are so many people on it that if you threw up a grain of sand it would not find a way to fall to earth again."

Personification:

“Stories about these strange men had grown since one of them had been killed in Abame and his iron horse tied to the sacred silk-cotton tree” (Page 144)

“He felt a relief with him as the hymn poured into his parched soul” (Page 147)

Metaphor

“Chielo, the priestess of Agbala, called the converts the excrement of the clan, and the new faith was a mad dog that had come to eat it up” (Page 143)
