Welcome to Litsy!

Well. I'm not quite sure what I think of this, ultimately. The bad guys here are Welsh, in the period of Brad y Llyfrau Gleision, and have established basically a little Welsh commune in medieval style. The daughter of a Victorian clergyman is the heroine (though her mother was Jewish, she is also very Anglican Christian). It all... reads badly. There isn't any outright outage I can quote, I'm just uncomfortable with all of it. 1/2

I'm fairly sure that the Welsh guy complaining of the way the English treat the Welsh is going to turn out to be the bad guy here, for all that his words are portrayed as sounding reasonable. I'm getting very very uncomfortable.

It's also definitely a look to have a Victorian clergyman's daughter visit Wales and complain about Welsh people not being religious, given Brad y Llyfrau Gleision was 1847.

Welp, a character just got announced as “Arthur, Prince of Gwynedd“, and... this is a definite choice. This might be where I depart from this series, depending on how things go. Who knows, maybe it'll be amazing and not weird about “Wild Wales“ (quote) in a book set in the Victorian period, but I'm bracing to be severely exoticised and, thanks, I hate it.
