I chose to give it 4 stars, because even though I loved the plot, characters and world building, the many POV’s we got were a bit hard to get through sometimes.
I either loved the characters, or wanted to rip their throats out, in a great way of course, and Follet has a wonderful and sometimes intense (and even borderline disgusting sometimes, ‘cus the plague was not that fun and cute) writing, and I usually don’t find architecture THAT interesting, but Ken made it really insightful and exciting to read about.
This and The Pillars Of The Earth are absolutely worth reading if you want to read a story with the drama and intensity of GOT, without the dragons…
