A big warning, this does deal with sexual assault and incest, so if that's a big problem for you, best to skip this one.
A very traditional High Fantasy, taking from Celtic and Welsh folklore to build its world and magic system of dweomer. Has more of a focus on fate and reincarnation, where the sins of a past self can haunt your later selves. It skips between the current events with Jill and the past events, which influences the present. It spends a good chunk of time in the past, and felt like a really long prologue rather than it's own book. It was still interesting enough for me to want to keep going.
