A review by penandswordinn
Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba, Angola, Africa, 1595 by Patricia C. McKissack

4.0

While this book gives us a good glimpse into African culture in 1595, it was far too short to tell the story it wanted to tell. I wanted more written about life at court and how the people feel about other clans being captured for slavery by the Portuguese.

I do have to state that those things I want might not be available via historical notes left behind. But I felt like I was just getting into it when it ended. I will say, maybe thanks to the shortness, there wasn’t as much waiting around and repetition as I found in the other three books I have read.
