Menewood (The Hild Sequence #2)
by
by
Menewood by Nicola Griffith is an excellent historical fiction that has action, drama, elements of fantasy, and a strong cast of characters that had me swept away from the first page.
This is the sequel to Hild and is the second book in The Light of the World trilogy. While one does not have to read the first book, it really should be read to fully appreciate where this story begins and the background of the characters.
The maps of seventh century lands and the family tree at the beginning of the book really help with a point of reference for the readers. The author’s note of historical context and the glossary at the end are very awesome and I highly recommend everyone look at both.
To read such a stunning account of a woman that truly lived in the 600s, Hild was a woman full of life, intelligence, complexities, and to see her story come to life through the author’s works…well let’s just say I am impressed.
Highly excited about the conclusion of the trilogy.
5/5 stars
Thank you NG and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, MCD for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.
