Really great introduction to medieval Europe IMO, I'm certainly not an expert in the field so I can't critique the book on that level but it's very readable while also being comprehensive. There were some parts that interested me more than others, but that's to be expected with such a broad subject. If you're interested in medieval history, I really recommend this book–I'm giving it 4 stars because it's not as mind-blowing as my 5s, but it's more like a 9/10.

An excellent review of Medieval European history that is comprehensive and rigorous without being dry or dull.
