Celts in space!!!! :) Covers Aeron's origins and training up until when she's crowed High Queen, I get the sense that a lot of historical research went into this. The heavy handed foreshadowing still bugs me, it's reminiscent of Guy Gavriel Kay but without the misdirection - I'd much rather she just hint subtly and then go on, and didn't basically give away what's going to happen.
