A review by helenmcclory
The Corn King and the Spring Queen (The Hera Series) by Naomi Mitchison

3.0

Phew! What a long book. And quite entertaining, with its focus on the alienness of the Ancient world, its trials and rituals and vast journeys. The epilogue is the only real scuff mark on this. I might have given it a little higher other than that - still, it's an achievement of a novel, worth it if that world appeals to you (it does to me as a classics student back in the day).
