A Column of Fire, by Ken Follett

4.0

What a good book! This was my least favorite of Ken Follett’s Kingsbridge trilogy but I would still highly recommend it to anyone that has started the series or is a fan of historical fiction. Ken Follett writes such captivating novels. This book didn’t feature as many in depth technical/descriptive passages that I enjoyed so much in his previous works (Jack & Tom’s buildings, Merthin’s bridge work or Caris’ medical work, etc) and I missed that. Character development was mostly good, there just wasn’t too much he could do with a plot in Kingsbridge since so much of the book was based on real historical events. I am DYING to read the Kingsbridge prequel that will one out this fall.
