set in the medieval era, there is a brief scene of sara having to fulfill her "obligations" with her abusive husband and multiple threats of assault leading up to a character suggesting they, the men, use the women of the ship as they wish, willing or not.saffire_sky's review against another edition

I also have to commend the awesome feminist ideas the book perpetuates, even with the restrictions placed on noblewomen in the 17th century. One character laments that her dresses, laden as they are with complex detail, don't have any pockets. And boy, do I hear you sister! What I love is that the female characters recognise their limitations, and then repeatedly crash through them to continue on their own paths.
