Lost Acre: Rotherweird Book III | Andrew Caldecott
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
'Intricate and crisp, witty and solemn' Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall on Rotherweird APOCALYPSE NOW? Geryon Wynter, the brilliant Elizabethan mystic, has achieved resurrection and returned to present-day Rotherweird. But after the chaos of Election Day, how can a stranger from another time wrest control? And for what fell purpose is Wynter back? His dark conspiracy reaches its climax in this unique corner of England, where the study of history is forbidden and neither friend nor foe are quite what they seem. The stakes could not be higher, for at the endgame, not only Rotherweird is under threat. The future of mankind itself hangs in the balance. 'Baroque, Byzantine and beautiful - not to mention bold. An enthralling puzzle picture of a book' M. R. Carey, bestselling author of The Girl With All The Gifts on Rotherweird

Mehso-so

The climax of this book is still a bit of a mystery to me. This series is quirky, the characters are engaging, but there was no build-up to the climax, and it was over before I clocked it. On top of that, I spent the first 100 pages checking the character list to work out who everyone was, I don't recommend a delay after Book 2. I think this is a case of the author being more entertained writing the book than the reader reading it.
