Slow starting, but this book (1 in a series of 4) takes time to develop characters, then the plot takes off. The author's scholarship in early medieval history is reflected in the language, tone,  vocabulary, characters (& their responses), and events. Every detail of daily living seems to have been researched. I always wondered how my medieval sisters handled the "moonflow."  No more. 😳Life in turbulent, violent times describes the backdrop. Strong characters, powerful events, fascinating era, beautiful prose... I have had to learn to get by on much less sleep! 😜 loved this book, and it's sequel and now I'm staying up way too late reading #3!!  Don't miss it!
