My thoughts-
I enjoyed Death on Lindisfarne much more than I did The Hunted Hare, because although it was sad, it wasn’t as sad. There was more hope and other activities happening in the book.
Some of my favorite parts were the author’s note, list of historical characters and who they were, a section on further reading, and a map of Lindisfarne which was complete with names and a tide chart.
I really enjoyed getting to know Aidan and his daughter, Melangell, better. Melangell is only eight-years-old, but she is very mature and is a joy to read about. Aidan is very luck to have a child who is so mature as it becomes more dangerous on Lindisfarne.
I would recommend Death on Lindisfarne. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.
