I hadn't read the first in this series but this story was such that it wasn't essential.  I liked the setting, the characters and the ups and downs of the 'journey'.I'm not sure if the all the language was suitable for the time or that it was historically accurate, but on the whole, it was written well and easily drew me along for the ride.The tale involves superstition, secrets, difference and the importance of knowledge and what can be done with it, and I liked Niamh's calm and sensible way of dealing with the terrible situations in which she finds herself, developing a strong female lead - stronger than those that think battle is the only way to live.Altogether a very good read.
