On the whole this was an enjoyable read, with two great central characters in Isla and Blue. One is earthy and practical, the other ethereal and forward-looking, and they both have to help each other survive in a post-Roman dark ages world that is very harsh on women. The author's research intruded on the story too many times, which was a shame, but that was my only quibble. Otherwise a good and fascinating read.
