I am reviewing a copy of Makeda: The Queen of Sheba through Conscious Culture Publishing and Netgalley:
Princess Makeda was born into a loving royal family but when her father, King Agabos, unexpectedly dies, the lives of Makeda and her mother, Queen Ismenie, are turned upside-down. Both grief stricken and angry for vengeance Makeda uses her intelligence and resiliency to navigate through a a toxic, male-dominated hierarchy. Despite the odds stacked against her and having her back against the wall, Makeda embarks on the deadliest mission of her life to restore honor and safety to the Kingdom of Sheba.
Makeda: The Queen of Sheba is a beautifully written and illustrated for both grade school children as well as fans of afrocentric anime, comics, and graphic novels. If you are looking for a book with a strong and powerful black female hero, then you will love this ancient tale of courage and redemption.
I give Makeda: The Queen of Sheba five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
