Väinö Linnan kuuluisan trilogian avausosa on kyllä varsin koukuttava historialliseksi romaaniksi. Välillä vähän turhan kansallisromanttinen rivien välistä tippuva paatoksellisuus vaivasi, mutta kun tietää mitä tuleman pitää niin ehkä se voidaan antaa anteeksi. Pakko myös antaa kunniamaininta harvinaisen mukiin meneville miespäähenkilöille, yleensä inhoan kaikkia "ideaaleja supersankariäijiä", mutta Jussi ja Akseli ärsyttivät harvinaisen vähän.

Tämä oli hieno lukukokemus. Tarina etenee verkkaisesti, mutta en kokenut kirjaa missään vaiheessa tylsäksi uskottavien henkilöhahmojen ja kiinnostavan historiallisen aikakauden ansiosta. Antti Holma oli mielestäni kertojana loistava.
