Bought this book on a whim from the cover when it came out and it moved to multiple homes across the years but always stayed unread on the shelf. I finally started reading through my physical TBR to purge books before my next move and got around to reading this. Glad it survived all the moves - was surprised by how much I liked this story considering I rarely enjoy medieval stories nor ones dealing with Christianity but thoroughly enjoyed this. The different narrators kept me intrigued and the characters were enjoyable. I even added some of the bibliography into my TBR afterwards.
