Lionheart Girl by Yaba Badoe
3.0
I received a digital ARC of Lionheart Girl in exchange for an honest review.
While it took me a while to get into this book the pay off is satisfying. At it's core it follows the trope of coming of age with an emphasis on discovering your inner power and coming to terms with the difference between the family we choose versus that which we are born into. The tone is foreboding and with magic and witchcraft woven throughout I'd recommend reading this in fall by a fire wrapped up cozy rather than summertime. I enjoyed it but wasn't really in the right mood for it.
