The Evening and the Morning
by Ken Follett
I've had [b:The Pillars of the Earth|5043|The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)|Ken Follett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576956100l/5043._SY75_.jpg|3359698] and the other books in the series on my TBR list forever, so when this book came out and it was the prequel I decided to read it first and then hit the series in 2021.
I enjoyed the story line and Follet's descriptions of everyday life during the Middle Ages. What I had a problem with was his writing. It seemed like he was writing for someone on a 7th grade reading level. The writing was stilted and juvenile. That being said I was captivated by the story and wanted to see how it ended. I will continue to at least read [b:The Pillars of the Earth|5043|The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)|Ken Follett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576956100l/5043._SY75_.jpg|3359698]. Hopefully the writing is a little better.
