Having read the Pillars of Earth in 1989, and following along in the 1990s as the sequels came out, I was happy to discover another book in the series. This story illustrates growing pains of the industrial revolution, the Napoleonic wars, and societal upheavals of the region. The church politics are not as prevalent. The books is good but some of the characters, especially the women, are not portrayed well and others are too one-dimensional. 4/5 Stars.
