Lightborne by Hesse Phillips
slow-paced
4.0
ARC REVIEW
Lightborne tells the story of playwrite Christopher “Kit” Marlowe in the weeks leading up to his death. The novel is filled with complexities and political intrigue as the story unfolds, revealing the tricks and betrayals amongst the high societies and the backstreets of Elizabethan London.
The novel is historic fiction at it’s finest and Phillips has highly researched the topic and setting and has rendered it really really well.
A very solid debut and I look forward to what Phillips does next!
Thank you to Atlantic Books and Netgalley for the ARC!
