I loved this “last of the series” book. Great plot, loved the characters. Some real evil bastards around in these times eh? Religion ……. I’ll stop there.
Loved it and so glad I read all 5 in a row. This man creates amazing stuff. THANKYOU Mr Follet. 
Now onto the Century Trilogy.

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!
