I finished this a few days ago and still can't stop thinking about it - it's probably my favourite Sutcliff book so far. If I'd been told how it was going to end in advance I probably would have been really pissy about it, but when it got to it, somehow it worked perfectly (gah, Cynan. The poor thing broke my heart. :(), and yes, loads of post-book fanfic possibilities!
