As a lover of all things Kingsbridge I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see how the town of Kingsbridge came to be and I was honestly shocked to see how bitter and twisted some people can be even back then. 

However, this is also a bittersweet book for me... I have devoured all four other Kingsbridge novels over the past four years, falling in love with the town as it grew from book to book and now it has come to an end. 

One of the best series of novels I have ever read!

I loved revisiting King's Bridge, learning about the origins of the town I already spent hours of my life reading about. The story is easy to follow and the three main characters' lives are interwoven in a very skilful way. I feel like I learned slightly less about the historical period and certainly less about architecture in this book than the last, but I still throughly enjoyed reading this book and think it is much improved from Follett's last installment of the Series (Column of Fire).

I enjoyed the other books in this series, and this book was no exception, and no different. At all. The characters and plot were the same as in previous books. Nevertheless, I was hooked halfway through. I had hoped that this book wouldn’t feature women being raped, but of course that was there just like everything else.
