- I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book given to me by the  publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own -

A try at yet another feminist telling of spirituality set in a Celtic small town about thousands of years ago - and it’s quite good. While it definitely has its flaws (especially concerning the storytelling, which gets a bit dry when nothing of importance happens for quite some time and the protagonist Morag keeps on going on little side quests, but it feels more like a linear line of “to do lists” where she needs to face one obstacle to get to the next one and so on), the writing style is good and mirrors the dialect spoken at the time, which makes reading it really interesting. 
The magical realism makes the story feel more alive and interesting and the imagination of deities and their protectors is quite captivating. The whole novel tries to work with more modern labels to imply diversity and does an okay job with it. 

In the end it’s a captivating story about a strong woman trying to find her place in a world that is still too patriarchal to grant her the freedom and security she wishes for, and a story which imagines a reality where she does.
