From the first chapter I was impressed with the author's knowledge of the historical significance of this transitional period in the British Isles and the European continent. I was also impressed by the knowledge of herbal medicine, heathen customs, and other elements brought into the story to cement the characters in their time. The voice of the narrator was consistent up until she fell in love, then it became almost like a modern romance novel for a couple chapters.  she regains her more appropriate narrative voice mostly by the end.I was very pleasantly surprised overall. Readers who enjoy a detailed story with enough action to keep it moving will probably not even notice the minor literary flaws.
