I'm finding this a little disappointing. Its much more YA than exexpected. The active plot makes for easy and engaging reading, but I find myself snapped out of the 5th century setting every few pages either by historical details I find unlikely or by very heavy handed statements reminding us that the author is a 21st century feminist.

I like the characters and the story is engaging enough for me to keep going.

Okay. I am not sure I can finish this. The only thing keeping me going is a desire to write a comparison between this and some of the really good medieval historical fiction I've read year. (The Matrix, The Evening and the Morning).
