A review by alexture
Le roi fantôme by Maaza Mengiste

Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
I wanted to read a book about female Ethiopian warriors. What I got instead was the story of a man who likes to rape everyone he runs into. Stopped midway as there were more pages detailing sexual assaults than pages without.

Also, this book has my pet peeve of not marking dialogue. Why do you do this, authors? Why do you want to confuse your readers?
