A really enjoyable read

5 stars

It’s a long time since I struggled to put a book down. More than once I just had to continue reading into the early hours to find out what happened next.

This book was a roller coaster of emotions and events that highlighted the violence, greed, passions, revenge of the main protagonists. It also really portrayed the ebb and flow of power and influence that royalty and religion had against each other, as well as the poor peasants who were caught in the middle.

A really enjoyable read and I can see why this book is one of Ken Follett’s all time best sellers.
