Great book! Reminds me a bit of Connie Willis, in that it doesn't shy away from the tragedy and hardship of life in medieval Europe. The mythology is a bit opaque at times, but it is beautiful as well. If I hadn't been on the subway while reading the last chapter I'm pretty sure I would have burst into tears - it all wrapped up perfectly yet sadly.
Also - best talking cat ever.
