Once Was Willem
Once Was Willem | M. R. Carey
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Presenting an enthrallingly dark medieval fantasy – a fable of twisted folklore, macabre magic and the strangest of found families – from M. R. Carey, author of the million-copy bestseller, The Girl With All the Gifts. Eleven hundred and some years after the death of Christ, in the kingdom that had but recently begun to call itself England, I, Once Was Willem, rose from the dead to defeat a great evil facing the humble village of Cosham. The words enclosed herein are true. I speak of monsters and magic, battle and bloodletting, and the crimes of desperate men. I speak also of secret things, of that which lies beneath us and that which impends above. By the time you come to the end of this account you will know the truth of your own life and death, the path laid out for your immortal soul, your origin and your inevitable end. You will not thank me.

Pickpick

'Once Was Willem' is an epic dark medieval fantasy. There is the juxtaposition of who the real monsters are: the monsters or the villagers. As such, there are aspects of found family in this as well. There is dry humor to be found also. It keeps things from being totally tragic. It is a tale of good versus evil, and so much more. 5 stars.
