so-soThis book was my least favorite of her three. I love her ability to mix in folk and this was no different. But the story fell flat for me.
pickI enjoyed reading this book. I really loved the time travel plot of the book, and all of the historical events in the book. I loved the characters too. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
I‘m going to give this book a try as my next #authoramonth book. @Soubhiville

This was an okay read, it‘s between a so-so and a pick. It wasn‘t amazing but I was interested enough to keep reading it. A good library borrow 👍
Last Friday, I watched Christopher Nolan's The Prestige for the first time in more than 15 years. ★★★★☆ #FridayFilms
Very hooked into the historical perspective of an enslaved boy who trains a horse from birth in pre-civil war Kentucky.
pickAt one point I was very confused with the different generations and where we were, more or less, in the timeline. And it was also so depressing. But I'm glad I persevered and especially loved the last few chapters.
Twi is the main Ghanaian language we work with and I recently needed to read up on the Akan dialect family, so I found all the history around the Asante incredibly interesting. There was so much suffering, though.
pick“There is no peace for a woman with ambition. No love for a woman with a crown. She loves too much is lustful. Her power is too strong she is ruthless l. She fights for vengeance she is mad. Kings are brilliant mighty godlike. Queens are deadly shameless accursed.”
Sums up the book.
