I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet maybe because I think this book could've been more succinct :)
Let me start off by saying that I loved the descriptions of medieval England in the first half of the book here. I was genuinely so engrossed. But it is the sheer magnitude of the book and how after around 70 percent of the book, it starts to feel like a more political and gruesome version of cat and mouse. The bad side will try to be cunning and the good side will be morally right, play fair and win. This push and pull got so... boring.
Honestly, I think my interest in this book genuinely went away after (spoiler alert I guess?) Jack became the master builder.
