Not my favourite book. Though it is listed as fantasy, I found it felt more like a historical fiction book. Full of political intrigue and backstabbing, the main characters attempt to embrace their lot in life while trying to get ahead.
Overall, I found it progressed too slowly and was confused about what the actual plot was. I found it to be very high fantasy with very little fantasy element, more like a historical fiction book. By about 50% I was over Gormflaith and dreaded her chapters. I felt like Fódla was the only character who had depth and I enjoyed her.
I will not be continuing this series.
