" I love this book for its historical and geographical span. Makes me want to visit Istanbul more than ever before. Interesting to pair this with Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian." "

" Through much of this read I thought I would end with a 3.5 star review. But the story grew on me and there were enough 'gems' in the writing that I decided it is well worth 4 stars. It is a bit long and drawn out in places, but for the most part it came together quite well by the end of the book. "

" I got more out of this book learning about how books are bound than the story. That's how shitty the quality of the book was. Are you fucking kidding me, people? 4+ stars? "

" This was my first experience with Mr. Lawhead's work. I loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed the fictional retelling of St. Aidan's life. I look forward to reading his retelling of the Arthurian legend as well as the Robin Hood legend. "
