Historia
1792. A tyrannical government is determined to make England a mighty commercial empire. In France, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and with dissent rife, France’s neighbours are on high alert. Unprecedented industrial change sweeps the land, making the lives of the workers in Kingbridge’s prosperous cloth mills a misery. Rampant modernization and dangerous new machinery are rendering jobs obsolete and tearing families apart. Now, as international conflict nears, a story of a small group of Kingsbridge people will come to define the struggle of a generation.

My least favourite of the series
Revisado: 01-02-25
Excellent narration and writing. I did not however enjoy the plot as much as the previous books of the kingsbridge series. I did not really bond with any of the characters. That said it’s still a very nice book.

Very good but a little short
Revisado: 11-26-24
Very nice story, interesting characters, and imaginative world building. This first book of the series felt a little short however. As far as narration goes all I can say is that it’s impeccable. Steven Pacey is a master!

Historia
In 1558 the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty, and love. Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious divide sweeping across the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all Europe turns against England.

Very good but not the best
Revisado: 11-08-24
I personally preferred the two earlier books of the series. Though, this one differs itself from the earlier two books in many ways, which I found very refreshing. The ‘main’ female protagonist is less relevant and independent from her counterpart in book 1 and 2. Nevertheless I found the story very enjoyable.

Historia
In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, set in 12th-century England. Readers and listeners ever since have hoped for a sequel. At last, here it is. Although the two novels may be listened to in any order, World Without End also takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge.

Great story and beautiful narration
Revisado: 10-06-24
If you liked Pillars of the earth you will very probably like this one. There are quite a few similarities between the books but enough differences to make them distinct experiences. Personally I preferred book 1 of the series but nevertheless I still had difficulties to stop binging the entirety of book 2 till the end.

Unlike anything I have ever read/heard. A masterpiece! I have never felt a 40 hour long audiobook finish so fast. The story is amazingly captivating. The narration is just perfect. This is a must-listen regardless of your interests in cathedrals and medieval settings.

Anticlimactic
Revisado: 07-26-24
The story ends in a very abrupt manner, which I did not like. The plot thickens and intensifies, leading to a crescendo that essentially ends with a cover-book-summary. Up to that point the plot is interesting. Furthermore, the audio quality is sub par as the same audio issues persist from the first part of the book (each sentence has been clipped too soon even removing almost entirely the final word of the sentence at some points). That’s a pity since the narrator does a very descent job.

Historia
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Revisado: 05-24-24
Really interesting story and a good performance from the narrator. Unfortunately though, the audio quality has been compromised. It is as if the end of each sentence has been abruptly cut. One can still understand the entirety of the sentence but, given that audio is a big part of this medium, the end result leaves a sour aftertaste.

Historia
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds. With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch.

Amazing story. Great narration. This last part of the trilogy takes twists and turns that I definitely did not see coming. What a pleasure has this book been!
