Now that I've finished this novel, I keep thinking back on it as I try to work out my feelings on it. I had read Daughters Of The North and found it a decent read so I decided to check out this one due to the subject. The descriptive prose is so thick that at times you feel like you're swimming through it, but for some reason I can't articulate I actually really enjoyed it. I wouldn't blame anyone put off by the heaviness of the writing style but it actually appealed to me (maybe because I was interested in the plot?). The main character Cy is extremely fleshed-out while the supporting characters all get a decent amount of page-time as well. All in all, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. If you can struggle through adjusting to the thickness of the writing style, I would definitely recommend this novel.
