A detailed start to a fantasy series, ‘Enok and the Womb of Gods’ uses stories from ‘Genesis’ and ‘The Book of Enoch’ to develop a world shrouded in mythology. This is an epic story that has been designed to be read repeatedly, with something new to be uncovered and learned each time.
Admittedly I was a little daunted at the detail before the story started, I’m unfamiliar with reading an explanation about how to read a book before I begin and I was a bit concerned about whether or not this would impact my enjoyment of the book. I am also not familiar with the Book of Enoch, a section of the bible on which a part of this story stems from, however, I think that the author does well to set the plotline in a realm of fantasy so that this doesn’t cause too many problems. I think people who have a more detailed understanding of Christianity and Judaism will undoubtedly notice more nuance in the characters and the story than I did, and it will spark those with an interest in mythology to read and learn more.
Set up like an Greek epic, a story weaved and told by elders, the story of Enok unfolds. I found this book an in depth and interesting read, there’s lots of details to keep track of and I personally appreciated the glossary of terms at the end. There’s lots to enjoy for fantasy and mythology fans and questions yet to be answered in later books. A good book that will absorb all of your concentration for a while.
