It's a dense book and the side stories do not add to the story. I felt the author wanted to flex that he knows 5 different languages just by adding Latin, German and French without any translation in the footnotes or even next to the passages.
After the climax of the book, I lost the feeling to read, as the story started to have more unnecessary side stories rather than the actual story. Despite that, the actual historical facts and explanations for the religious orders, the religious details and rivalries between them were really good.
The actual villain was really predictive.
