Very interesting book. Well researched Medieval history is intwined within the story line of four young children who grow and travel from Kingsbridge, England. Caris and Methin, two of the central characters are inspirational and change the lives of everyone in Kingsbridge, despite the challenges they face from Ralph, Philemon, Godwyn and the onset of the black plague. (Caris helps to abate the effects of the plague in Kingsbridge.) Well worth reading.
My rating: 4.2 out of 5
The prequel to World Without End is the Pillars of the Earth. I enjoyed this book, and the characters Tom, Alina, and Jack really stood out to me. While the violence and licentiousness of the feudal lifestyle was less than appealing, overall this book and its historical setting in the middle ages is inquisitively extraordinary.
My rating: 4.3 out of 5
