I thoroughly enjoyed reading Randolph's story line and her detailed research on the times, language and customs certainly makes the book come alive.  I would love to read all three books in the trilogy and will definitely be ordering the second two.  I know it is hard to do what the author did and find enough detailed information to really make the times hold up to the undivided attention that reading a book makes necessary, but it was done very well here.I do think that the situation of Ceridwen and friends was most unusual that they were not mistreated by their fathers, brothers or husbands as was usual back in those times.  The way that all of their lives intertwined over the years was cleverly done and I did not see a lot of the events coming as I usually do in most books.  That was an added bonus.You will certainly enjoy this book if you have ever wondered about what life must have been like back in the very early days of what was to become England.
