Dissolution by C.J. Sansom
2.0
I wanted to enjoy this a lot more than I did.
I wonder if I would have been able to follow the story and the many similar characters better if I’d read a text version rather than listening to the audio. As I experienced it, many of the monks and church folk blended together in a sea of old fashioned white guy names, which made the intricacies of the plot really difficult to follow.
I did enjoy the book’s protagonist and the action-packed ending was a nice surprise. Personally, I think it was just too little, too late to redeem this series for me.
Also worth noting that Steven Crossley is a great narrator. I never tire of listening to him.
