Hadn't read this for decades. It stood up well to the pasing of time. Asimov is a good illustration of the importance of science and the humanities and books like this are evidence against the current denigration of the humanities in modern universities.
Strange thing to say about a medieval historical fiction but this felt dated. The perspective on relationships was so very masculine and unrealistic. ;[;I have clearly changed since my first reading thirty years ago. Still liked the details of the cathedral building however.
