This was a great read. It's an immersive historical fiction novel that transports you to the setting while still keeping the characters and dialogue relatable. While it's inevitably a bit dated in its representation of some historical topics - notably the idea that the "Celtic" churches didn't originally have bishops - I don't blame the book for that since it's an older one. I loved the characters and am really looking forward to reading more in the series.

The misogyny and religiosity in the text is historical in nature, simply there without being a focus of the text nor a strictly followed code
