this was simply too wide in scope for me and i personally need a little bit more hand holding when it comes to centuries past, felt like i walked into a lecture 2 months into class.

Very slow and dry.

It could have used some aggressive editing. If she had stuck to her theme of following one man's life through the century, it would have been great, but there were so many tangents that the book felt disorganized and rambling.

I had a very hard time with this book. The writing style didn't work for me and was very dense. There was a lack of structure and it was difficult to follow and retain any information. It made me think of my rambling history teacher in highschool unfortunately. The author knows a lot about the 14th century but is not very good at conveying that knowledge to the reader in an engaging way

Exhaustive history of fourteenth century France, centered on the person of Enguerrand de Coucy. 

A little hard to listen to for long periods of time. On a re-listen now!
