The Lioness of Morocco by Julia Drosten

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

---

The themes are very much on the nose. It has a very promising premise, but I felt like the prose was weak. I would love to read about a strong female protagonist and this sounded exactly like the book I was looking for, but the woman yearning for adventure is a trope beaten to death already and the authors weren’t even remotely subtle in showing Sybilla’s struggles. Too black and white.
