I wanted to really love this book and I did at first. I find post-Roman Britain to be an extremely interesting time period. I loved the idea of the book and immediately bought it. The book started well and I had high hopes for the adventures that the sisters would face. However, the book really slowed in the middle third with not much really happening. I appreciated the focus on ‘kin’ and community but it didn’t feel like there was much drive to the plot. The final part of the story was then completely rushed and I was left slightly confused as to what happened. Great premise but failed execution.
