Megge of Bury Down by Rebecca Kightlinger

2.0

Megge of Bury Down is the first in a fantasy/historical fiction series that takes place in 13th century Cornwall, England. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t work for me, even though historical fiction with a bit of magic or fantasy is one of my favorite genres. I listened to the audiobook, narrated well by Jan Cramer. The first half was very slow, consisting of a lot of family history, with not a lot happening. It was a bit difficult to keep all the names and relationships straight - I am not sure if it would have been easier if I were reading rather than listening. At about halfway, the story finally picked up and then it was a rush of events to the end of the book, which ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. I did really enjoy learning about how the women in the book did their healing and how they lived.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rowan Moon for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook. All opinions are my own.
