And, yes, I think you're absolutely right (although in all honesty, I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned) that the emotions are sketchy - looking through this afternoon, I was seriously considering Thormod/Anders. Also, agreed to Alexia - she's definitely one of the more rounded younger female characters Sutcliff writes, and it's lovely to see her threaded through the book. (And... there's a whole other consideration there that I suspect you've already gone through in some detail, about women in Sutcliff.)
