Oh my gosh. So good. If you loved Pillars of the Earth, I think you will love this prequel. It's a juicy read, and is such a great set up for Pillars. A cozy, weighted blanket of a book!
Cel mai bun volum din seria Kingsbridge. Ken Follet este un magician ! Felicitari !
It kept me reading to the end although at first it seemed to drag.
Very entertaining story - loved the characters and twists and turns of fate as they built early England in the turn of the 1st century. Would make a great movie or limited series!
Great read!
Ken Follett is a master storyteller! I didn’t want to put this one down & now I’m preparing to reread the rest of the Kings Bridge series.

Sadly this was not my jam. Maybe nothing good could happen to women in 900 but it is hard to read bad thing after bad thing. It is well written and I enjoyed the historical components. Overall, it felt a little forced to me in the way that most characters were meant to show things about the time period instead of being full characters in themselves. It never fully grabbed me for that reason.

Enjoyable prequel to The Pillars of The Earth, but glad I left a while between them as very similar themes/topic and style. Characters felt familiar as he has written similar people in each book! Nice ending and good strong female characters
