The overly simplistic storytelling style is starting to get a little jarring: "They went to tell the high priestess the news. But she was dead. They would have to choose a new high priestess." O..kay?

It's almost like a story for (or told by?) children, except there's graphic murder and a lot of sex.

Simple language continues. This would be a great read for someone learning English as a second language and wanting some practice.

Separately, wow this author does not like faces with sharp noses and thin lips! I didn't realize that all of us sharp-nosed, thin-lipped people were naturally villainous.

Only on page ten and so far we've been introduced to all the standard template characters of a Ken Follett novel, and I'm pretty sure I know how this story is going to play out 😆 Will it be Pillars of the Earth, just with the names swapped out, and a cathedral swapped for Stonehenge? Let's find out!
