This is now one of my favourite books of all time, and most certainly one of the best folklore fantasy books out there. It has a semi-historical setting in a world where real mixes with fantastical. The changes in point-of-view give the reader insight into the thoughts of characters from different backgrounds and who have different goals. The story is women-driven, and the characters are sympathetic without being flawless/perfect which adds to their realism.
