The Emperor's Babe

I really enjoyed the themes of this book, however I feel like it lacked a little depth. The book is written in prose which I generally like however, it made the already small book even smaller (which could be why it lacked depth). I very much enjoyed the themes on class, feminism, friendship, imprisonment and slavery and believe that Bernadine Everisto is an amazing author and at times felt moved by some of the writing. Overall I think it is worth the read as it is short and sweet just would have loved if it was a bit longer so it could really delve into the themes and develop the characters more.
