Breathtaking. Nicola Griffith knows what she's doing. --Jo Walton, author of Or What You Will A mesmerizing tale that manages to be both epic and immersive in a short, intimate span, Spear gives us a vivid hero, a daring quest, and a clear-eyed reimaging of Arthurian legend. --Malka Older, author of State Tectonics Praise for Nicola Griffith's Hild Extraordinary . . . [Hild] resonates to many of the same chords as Beowulf, the legends of King Arthur, The Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones. --Neal Stephenson As loving as it is fierce, brilliant, and accomplished. To read it felt like a privilege and a gift. --NPR One of the best novels, period. --Dorothy Allison Sharp as steel, clear as garnet, essential and sensual and right, Griffith's telling of Hild's adventures offers us something far better than mere comfort: the lure of the sublime. --The Seattle Times
