Honestly, the gore was too much for me. The story felt formulaic, and just wasn’t what I was looking for. I wanted deep, rich characters and these felt more like caricatures. (I did really enjoy the setting and sense of the time period of the book.)

Loved the rest of the series - this prequel seemed to drag on - even after 14 1/2 hours - the story just did not progress.

Es el año 997.
Diez barcos vikingos se acercan a la costa de Combe Inglaterra. Los vikingos son ladrones, violadores y asesinos y su ataque cambiaría para siempre la vida del joven Edgar y su familia que se dedican a la construcción de barcos.
Es el primer libro que leo de Ken Follet; me tome mi tiempo para disfrutar cada página y vaya que lo disfruté.
Me encantó leer sobre personajes que a pesar de sus circunstancias se rebelan contra los tiempos que viven e imaginan otra forma de vida sin tantas injusticias para los menos afortunados.
Son tres personajes principales: el humilde e inteligente Edgar, la hermosa y valiente Ragna, hija de un Conde y el misericordioso monje Aldred. Estos personajes principales entrelazan sus vidas con los perversos hermanos Wilful, Wynstan y Wigelm quienes sin piedad ejercen su poder en el lugar.
Cada uno de los capítulos vale mucho la pena para conocer ese periodo de la historia de la que hay muy poca documentación.
Great tale of the beginnings of Kingsbridge. Edgar is a lovable character who is so damn loyal to those he values and loves. The story meanders through British History prior to William the Conqueror’s arrival. I would highly recommend this book and believe I will come back to it again.
