I wanted to love this book! There are not many historical fiction books out there that take place in the early middle ages and this time period is one of my favorites! Griffith gets a gold star for the huge amount of research she did when writing this book. However, it did make for a dense and heavily detailed book. Griffith frequently used old English words in the story and I was almost constantly referencing the glossary in the back, especially in the beginning. I am glad that I picked this up because it is such an unique book, but it was a challenging read!
