The book was described ad a "Pagan fantasy/fairy tale," and it certainly beings that way. The story becomes more focused on revenge mixed with reclaiming yourself to become something greater. I think these ideas are what make they story so wonderful. The prose is amazingly poetic and immerses the reader in the whimsical and brutal world experienced by the traveling folk.
The story was confusing at times, but in the way that Pagan gods and beliefs can be elusive and confusing to outsiders. I want to read it again someday to see if I can better understand the main character's eventual role asone of the fates/Triple Moon Goddess aspects . It the cycle of revenge meant to repeat forever? Without recollection? It's an interesting question I still don't have an answer to.
