A review by grecia_r
Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones

4.0

I thought the description of this book was really different. Unless I missed something, there was never any indication of Mar being Jewish. And though Joan was involved in his trial, he wasn't really the accuser. But as a story, I really enjoyed it. And kudos to Netflix because their show really followed the book almost to the letter. You really get a sense of the hustle and bustle of Medieval Barcelona through the eyes of these dynamic characters. I loved most of these characters, and even could feel some sympathy for the King's ward, though definitely not enough. I loved Mar's zeal, Arnau's gentleness, Zahat's general devotion, even Aledis' boldness.'
