5.0

This is such a long book and so rewarding. The characters were so well developed that I wanted to keep listening. I had the written version too so I could flip back and forth as my attention span demanded. I knew it was about the building of a church, but I didn’t know that there would be villains and heros, peasants and royalty. Well worth the investment of time.
