This book was very good... it started a tad bit slow, but after a few dozen pages I was absolutely hooked. This story follows 4 main medieval characters you meet in the beginning and chronicles how their lives intertwine throughout the entire story. (The sequel mentions them a few times as well, postmortem.) There is a lot of architecture talk in this book, however, the betrayals and scheming will quickly take you past all of that, if architecture isn't your thing.
