Rare for me, but I think this is one i actually enjoyed reading more than my opinions on its quality actually imply. I had assumed there would be more politics or war strategy in a Queen Amina retelling but this is actually more about her personal relationships and ultimately her lifelong love affair with the god of war. A lot more sex scenes than I'd anticipated!
But it was genuinely just a fun read as Amina grows in power and confidence, expanding the territory and influence of Zazzau.
