I was chosen by Netgalley to receive an advanced reader copy of "No Man's Land" by Simon Tolkien. Given that fact, it has not altered my opinion on the book at all. "No Man's Land" has a scheduled release date of January 24th 2017.
There are two main reasons why I wanted to review this book. First and foremost, with a last name Tolkien, and a nerd rep on the line, it's kind of a given to pay homage to a man that sucked me into the fantasy realm. I was beyond excited to learn that this is Tolkien's grandson writing this book. Secondly, can I just say that this cover is so eye catching? If this book were sitting on a shelf in a bookstore, I would be drawn to it, regardless of what genre it is in. I earnestly hope to go into this book without any predilection. While I am a completely immersed and won over by "Middle Earth", I'm excited to have a completely different scope into the mind of a Tolkien.
"No Man's Land" (I'm going to say) is divided into 3 parts:
1. Pre-war- character descriptions, locations, background
2. Mid-war- a very "Saving Private Ryan" description, not for the faint of heart
3. Post-war- how the war has affected the characters, and continues to affect surrounding people.
