1000 years ago, one group of people invaded a land and dispossessed another group. This book deals with the remnants of that dispossessed and how some want revenge. The format was different. Each chapter, whether 1 page or 50 pages, followed one character. And it switched between at least 10 different characters. By the end of the book you began to see the hint of an outline of how all these different threads were coming together. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the rest of this trilogy.
The only thing that made me shake my head was, do people really hold on to a "national" grudge for 1000 years? In that time the conquerors would have been conquered by others and then become mingled with the original inhabitants. It just seems kind of a long time for such a feeling to still exist. That would be like me getting ticked off about the Battle of Hastings, or some such. Oh well, the author can make her characters feel whatever they want to I guess.
