Queenie: Godmother of Harlem by Elizabeth Colomba, Aurélie Levy
4.25
challenging dark reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

make history fun again! queenie is violent, graphic, gripping & unreasonably good read. i love strong female characters and this has just enough to keep the reader going without lingering too deeply in the grittiness. the drawings match the grime and lore of mobster America in the 30s.
