Ain't No Queen of Hearts
Ace of Spades pulls no punches, pulls the reader straight into the story. It does so however at a natural transition, so the reader doesn't feel lost. It's an interesting contrast of two characters, and fascinating that Abike-Iyimide makes it clear from the get-go that Chiamaka is ambitious, knows what it takes to achieve what she wants, and prioritizes that over everything - including surrounding herself with people who care about her.
