The exploration of what it would have been like if a remote place had lost all its men (which did actually happen historically) was fascinating and a part of that slower pace, though, and I really enjoyed it. As one reviewer stated, it is a feminist book without ignoring historical reality.
I loved Ursa and Maren and really felt I learned their worlds. I was rooting for each of them right away.
Sort of spoiler (very mild)
It is written in present tense which is not my preference, but I got used to it.
