I had been vaguely meaning to read this since it came out, but I also vaguely wanted to reread Hild, the first book before I did, and since Hild is 640 pages long and Menewood is 670 pages long that meant that in practice that I was not actually getting around to prioritizing either of them on my reading list.


This is me exactly! It's good to know that you still enjoyed Menewood without rereading Hild first, because I definitely don't remember most of the non-major characters anymore, especially the ones involved in politics, and I got really intimidated when I popped open my copy and was hit with the list of characters (who were Æthelfrith vs Æthelburh and how am I supposed to tell them apart??) But I loved all the stuff about resource management and material culture in Hild, so it's great to hear that continues!
