Hai
I rushed to write this review immediately after I finished the book, which is about the highest of acclaim I can give to a piece of art.
Following a hero journey through 14th-century Black-Death-stricken France, the story blends terror with peace, despair with hope through each chapter and each city.
I am incredulous of how Buehlman paints the most horrific ecclesiastical imageries I've known using the calmest of prose. Reading the book makes you feel like you can miss it without proper attention, but the moment you catch it, it appears so vivid, so cruel, and so gripping, you can never excise it off your mind.
A tremendous success.
