Author: Follett, Ken

After reading a couple of tomes from this author I thought I was done but on our last trip to Texada I needed a book to read and this one was on the shelf. The technicality of reading the book was unique. I had the paperback edition but I didn’t want to carry such a large book with me on my trip so I downloaded it onto my iPad. Then I loaded Libby onto my phone so I could read while I waited on appointments. I always tried to finish reading at the end of a chapter so that I could synch the electronics with the paper. As it turned out I finished the book before we left.

I was into the story in the first couple of pages. It takes place 200 years after the first book in the Kingsbridge series so I didn’t need to remember much about the first book. Many of the names were familiar and one of the main characters Merthin is a builder; the love of his life seems unreachable after being accused of witchcraft and forced to become a nun. There are several despicable characters and I was so mad at them until they met their ends.
