Soooo gut! Obwohl ich keine Freundin von der Ich-Perspektive und verschiedenen POVs bin, hat mir das richtig gut gefallen. Nur habe ich zwischen den beiden Protagonistinnen einen großen Unterschied gemerkt, Gormflaith mochte ich einfach nicht (aber gut, sie ist ja auch quasi einer der "Bösen"). Aber Fódla habe ich richtig geliebt, besonders ihre Beziehung zu Rónnat und Broccan hatte eine richtig süße Familiendynamik und ich mochte auch ihre Freundschaft zu Murchad. Generell hat es mir gefallen, dass sie so stark jnd gleichzeitig irgendwie so still und sanft war. 

Größtes Problem: Ich hab wirklich lange gebraucht, um rein zu kommen, weil ich fast jeden Namen googlen musste. Das Buch hat wirklich einem starken Fokus auf irische Geschichte im 10. Jahrhundert, da muss man sich schon ein bisschen durch Wikipedia klicken. Ich hätte mir hier am Ende ein kleines Namensregister gewünscht oder eine Einleitung (z.B. zu der Rolle der Wikinger und zu den Figuren, die auf historische beruhen etc.).

Almost gave up halfway through the book but once I got there it improved significantly and struggled to put it down. If the next books continue that way will be a great series
