Hild by Nicola Griffith
5.0

WELL. I cannot rave about this book enough. Did I love this novelization of the early days of Saint Hilda of Whitby because I too want to spend my days running through fields and fens, and stabbing anyone I don’t like with my own seax? Perhaps. But also I know almost nothing about 7th century Anglo-Saxon Britain and the political machinations and conflicts between the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Picts, Welsh, Irish, and others were fascinating. I love a watchful heroine whose super power is her observational skills and intellect, and I love a colorful cast of supporting characters as well. This book truly deserves all the stars.
