This is very skippable in an otherwise great series. (  ) A.Godhelm | Oct 20, 2023 | I am familiar with Ken Follett's writing and I have him placed at the top of my list. I have read the two books before this one in the series. This is another one of his great works. I like reading historical stories and I'm familiar with the format. This book kept me interested to the very end. The characters were well-developed and the dialogue between characters was interesting and inviting. There were some graphic scenes of horror and violence throughout the book but it was expected because of the place and era. Follett didn't leave much out and the organization was on the spot. In a story with war, bloodshed, conspiracy, and royalty, such as Queen Elizabeth, and the Catholic and Protestant beliefs there is a lot to read and keep knowledge of whos who in the story comes together with astounding overwhelming events and emotions. Sylvie's character was wonderful as was Ned Willard who enhances the story to keep the reader moving along and understanding everything that's going on. I can't wait to move on to the next book in the Kingsbridge series. ( ) Juan-banjo | Oct 5, 2023 | ) siok | Sep 24, 2023 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"International bestselling author Ken Follett has enthralled millions of readers with The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, two stories of the Middle Ages set in the fictional city of Kingsbridge. The saga now continues with Follett's magnificent new epic, A Column of Fire. In 1558, the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, royalty and commoners clash, testing friendship, loyalty, and love. Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious conflict dividing the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch sets up the country's first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions, and invasion plans. Over a turbulent half century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. Elizabeth clings to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of resourceful spies and courageous secret agents"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
