Very well interesting and well written. I liked learning about the various characters and then seeing how they came together. I was a little worried when Christianity started becoming more prominent in the story but I think it was handled well and it made sense for the characters.

Overall I would recommend the book.

4.5* rounded up. gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. i can’t believe i only very recently came across she would be king, but i’m very glad i wasted little time in getting around to reading it. in part motivated to make progress on my personal ‘read around the world challenge’, i thought a fantastical retelling of the foundation of liberia would be the perfect addition, and i have to say that i’m very much encouraged to further expand my knowledge of the country after having read this book.
