I didn't like this as much as the first two books in the trilogy. Michelle Paver does historical romance very well, but the plot was... Well. It wasn't the sexual abuse I minded so much as the fact that it was only A Plot Device, which made it seem seedy and cheap. More details under the cut, because it's spoilery.

I listened to this rather than read it and found it a really good production.
When I picked it up I didn't realise that it was the last in a trilogy but I will definitely look out for the first two.
It is dark in places but not unnecessarily so and everyone does live happily ever after in the end!

I enjoyed this but didn't love it. It didn't seem to matter that it's the third of a trilogy; it stands well on its own.
I loved the first two books in this series but found this one very dark and depressing. Unfortunately, the author now seems to be successful writing juvenile fantasy for boys so may not return to historical fiction.
