Reviews that I’ve read of this book are accurate in their communication of its excellent literary qualities, and the basics of its plot. What none of them addressed was the role played by rape in the book. The rape and sexual assault of girls and women, and the threat of rape and sexual assault of girls and women, were a nearly constant presence. Rape functioned to shape and reveal character, to move the plot, and as an allegory of colonial violence. It was exhausting. Given how prevalent rape is in war (and peace), I am not complaining about its inclusion here (and I was very glad that the author handled it without a hint of salaciousness), but am shocked that it has been left out of the larger conversation about this book—treated as background, somehow not worth mentioning. I thought I’d mention it. This is a beautiful book, exploring a fascinating history, but often difficult—especially for readers for whom rape and sexual assault are not merely symbolic.

First, the premise is good and one does learn about Ethiopia and its war with Italy. The author has a certain lyrical way with words that is pleasing. However, there are far too many of them. Words that is. It really dragged. Most annoying of all is that it just stopped playing at chapter 50 and even though I tried to fast forward and back and reload the book, nothing worked. Very, very annoying. Am going to ask for my $ back.

Audiobook The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste
The story was way to slow and the characters not like able or easy to follow. And I didn’t like the narrator’s voice. It returned this book after only listening to 6 chapters.

Audio The Shadow King narrated by Robin Miles
Narration was very, very disappointing. The ethiopian accents were extremely off-base. Audible should be finding authentic voices to read books like this. You’ve done a disservice to an incredibly powerful and beautiful text.
