What a wonderful historical fantasy book with an unlikely protagonist, a fairytale-like quest and the question of what is good and what is bad, with a twist of the conflict between the old ways and the new. I listened to this as an audiobook and the narrator Catrin Walker-Booth was fabulous, giving all the characters unique voices and accents and bringing them to life. I loved Jenny as a protagonist who is very much herself, with simple wants and needs, but open to leaving her comfortable life and helping others. I also loved the fun trio of adventurers who have to fulfill the quests at hands to defeat evil - in that way the book was very traditional, fairytale-like, even though their solutions might not always be. The only thing that nagged me a little was the pacing. At times it felt a little slow and it didn't always manage to hold my attention. There's also a little drama inbetween, which wasn't strictly necessary for tha plot, but it was bearable. Overall a wonderful book, especially the audiobook version was great, I recommend it to fans of Gorse, The Bear and the Nightingale and generally books with dark and twisted folklore, even though is book is mostly not very dark.
