A review by bookofcinz
The Emperor's Babe by Bernardine Evaristo

3.0

I have to admit, I am still getting use to reading novels told in verses. Some have been hits and others not so much. I enjoyed reading The Emperor's Babe because I wanted to get an appreciation for Evaristo's earlier works. I also like that Evaristo writes about a space and time in history that I have little knowledge about and made it it accessible and interesting.

Some parts I had to re-read just to understand what was happening, but overall I enjoyed the freshness and feisty characters in this book.
