The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste

3.0

Italian invasion of Ethiopia.

At least in my experience, most Americans don't realize that WWII was more then just Pearl Harbor, bombing of London, Poland and Germany. So, I am thankful that we have a book that discusses what is often seen as one of the episodes that prepared the way for WWII.

I personally didn't know much about it, but I loved learning so much while reading. Yes, it's historical fiction but there is still a ton to learn.

Unfortunately, I do not think the book is written that well, but it's definitely not the worse I've read.

I feel very in the middle because I did enjoy the story, but I wish it was written better.
