It's so complex, and there are surprises that you don't expect, but you realise that the author has been building up to it. It's so organized, and very well written. The character development is inmaculate, and you see how certain events shape the characters lives and how they survive traumatic events. It's very informative about the Middle Age, and i love how Ken Follet describes churches and buildings so detailed. You can imagine everything that the characters see. Fun fact, this book helped me understand more about this period of time that my school ever did.
