review 1: I generally love books about the middle ages and this one was ok. I liked how Bablyonne is a feisty, spirited character. While she clings strongly to her beliefs that the Roman priests are bad, she hears the discourse between Father Isidore and the Perfects, and eventually grows to respect Father Isidore. For me, the style of writing - short, partly formed sentences made the book harder to understand.
review 2: I haven't read Jinks series on Pagan, but I will after reading this book. If you've read the Pagan series by this author, this book focuses on his daughter, growing up in England in with a group of female family members that believe in the old ways and loathe Roman priests and their religion. She is the bastard child of a Roman priest and a woman of o... moreld beliefs. Because she is constantly mistreated and about to be sent to marry a man old enough that he won't defile her, she runs away, ends up meeting with a friend of her father's and starts a journey that will change her forever. less
