I'll have to do a little digging online and see about the mythology links.

It's too bad Fellside wasn't as good, but I'm so happy to learn that he's writing a prequel to TGWATG.

I didn't know at the time though that there is some mythology link that makes it more interesting if one know of it. I should ask my daughter in law (who knew about the link) to explain further, and then go back and reread the end and see if I can get that figured out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-42390157256367572332017-01-20T07:20:59.335-08:002017-01-20T07:20:59.335-08:00I loved The Girl With All the Gifts too!

Good news, though, I've heard he's writing a prequel to TGWATG.

That means I have read him tonnes before and that this was not my first book by him. oops!

And I've heard that narrator before. Putting it on my list.
