The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald – Review by Hayley Thrumble
The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This novel is a lovely mix of beautifully written mythology and gripping undercover terrorism detection. Although that sounds as if the two wouldn’t work well, MacDonald makes it work. The mythology told within this story is simply stunning and really interesting to read about. I really liked how MacDonald mirrored the mythology with the main characters narrative, this made me question what was in store for our main character throughout the book. I think the characters were very well developed and MacDonald has a way of making, even the bad guys relatable, which I really enjoyed.
