While the first few hundred pages kind of dragged, for such a long book the pacing was on point. You really come to care for these characters, at times shaking your head at the decisions they make or their stubbornness but since this book is set in medieval times their thought process was very realistically portrayed. I rolled my eyes at the insta-love but liked the relationships in the end, both romantic and platonic. The villains were deliciously flawed and make your blood boil in anger, so when they finally get their due it is all the more satisfying after all the tribulations they put our protagonists through.
***This contains Slovene review (which is my native language) and English review of the book. Because I read the book in English, the English review is first, Slovene review is second.*** ENGLISH REVIEW: Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My initial reaction upon receiving this book as a gift from a friend was quite surprising, and I must say that I was not fully aware, of what I was embarking upon, when I commenced reading it. This literary work is characterized by an abundance of plot twists, which not only captivate the reader, but also stimulate thinking. It is important to acknowledge, that the book does incorporate explicit themes of sexuality and violence, among others. Nevertheless, if one momentarily sets aside these elements, it becomes evident, that this is indeed a remarkable piece of literature. I am sure, that this is not the last book by the author Ken Follett, that I read. SLOVENE REVIEW: Ocena: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moja začetna reakcija ob prejemu te knjige kot darilo od prijatelja je bila precej presenetljiva, in moram reči, da se nisem v celoti zavedala, v kaj sem se podala, ko sem to knjigo začela brati. Knjigo zaznamuje ogromno preobratov, ki ne le očarajo bralca, temveč bralcu tudi spodbujajo razmišljanje. Pomembno je omeniti, da knjiga med drugim vsebuje tudi eksplicitne teme spolnosti in nasilja. Vendar če za trenutek postavimo te elemente knjige na stran, postane očitno, da gre za izjemno literarno delo. Prepričana sem, da to ni zadnja knjiga avtorja Kena Folletta, ki sem jo prebrala.
Anhand weniger Personen beschreibt Follett die verschiedenen Stände und deren Zusammenwirken. Es zeigt sich, wie abhängig alles voneinander ist und wie Kleinigkeiten große Katastrophen auslösen.
