Neon, yes, the religious element continues to be important throughout the series, though none of the religions/heresies are exactly the same as anything in our world. Not to everyone's taste, I know, but for me it gives Alis/Kate's worldbuilding a real sense of authenticity, because the Church was so very powerful and pervasive an influence through the entire medieval period.
Thanks for that correction. I haven't read the Highroad Trilogy yet so I'll see if I can track that down.

Neon,

As Kelpie says the religious elements continue thorughout the series but the story is much more than that. It's really well written and on the EPIC scale. One of my favourites of modern time. Do yourself a favour and rediscover her world!

Bye all..
