I think what I loved so much about this book, though, is that it covers so much. There's not particularly a central plot. Hild's driving goal is to keep herself and her loved ones safe from all the dangers the ever-shifting alliances and machinations of the power players of the day. She claws out as much agency as she can under the circumstances, but the context in which she acts is within the court of Edwin Overking, whose goal is to be king over all the kings of the land that will eventually be known as England. There are conflicts and challenges and small periods with defined goals, but overall it unfolds much as life does - piece by piece, event by event, with little in the way of a structured plot.
