She Would Be King

It's not often that I pause a book because I got too emotionally engaged while reading it. “She Would Be King” from Wayétu Moore joined that club multiple-time. Leynes shared a great in-depth review (beware, spoils) if you want to know much more, however, don't hesitate to plunge into it without knowing anything other than the genre is historical fantasy, there is magic, and the setting is pre-Civil War.
