5.0

Part of the Kingsbridge series based in the Dark Ages. This is the prequel to The Pillars of the Earth but you can truly read these in any order. I’m a BIG Follett fan. Reading this series (each book is >900 pages) is a commitment, for sure, but he knows how to create an immersive world full of love, ambition, power, and family drama that you can get lost in easily.
