The Armor of Light

I liked Armour of Light almost as much as the first two Kingsbridge novels. This book made it clear to me that what I like most in Ken's writing is the daily events of the characters and the economic background, even if sometimes it has a flare of a soap opera.

I loved all the bits related to the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of automation process on the wool business, and its impact on its workers, their rights and subsequent revolt, exacerbated by the war.

Looking back, Pillars of the Earth should have been my first sign that what I liked was business, and I'm glad I eventually changed majors. This one is also a confirmation that I would love to study industrial management engineering. Give me all the machine descriptions Ken, I just can't get enough of them
