This was my first Cornwell, and I look forward to reading more by him. I quite enjoyed the story. Sure, all of the stone moving stuff got kind of tedious by the end... But what do you expect, it's about Stonehenge, a certain amount of stone moving is to be expected. People say it's not Cornwell's best work (I wouldn't know, I haven't read anything else by him), so considering that I liked it enough to give it 4 stars I'm definitely excited to see what else he has to offer.

I enjoyed this book, more than I expected. I liked the story and the characters and I liked how not everything always turned out well, a lot of terrible things happened in this book. The only things I didn't like were the constant explanations of how the stones were being moved. That just got a little too boring for me at times. The other little thing was that Saban taught his son how to use a bow three times. Just something I noticed.
I mainly enjoyed this book though, the story was gripping and I liked the time and place it was set in.

Interesting take on stonehenge's construction. I both enjoyed the story and eagerly anticipated the historical followup at the end. Some of the elements come together nicely.
