emilyfrizz 's review for:

4.0

I love this series, it feels so big and yet crams so much detail onto the page. The characters were all life-like and had hard decisions to face. As a prequel it delivered, revealing the origins of various places and things we see in The Pillars of the Earth. It did feel a little similar in terms of the character archetypes, but it was still a great read and a page turner.
