![]() Something that I always love though, is learning about weapons from various time periods. Cornwell writes some epic, bloody, gory battles but I suppose this book was supposed to be more about the building of the temple than the battles. I also sincerely dislike Aurenna as a character, one of Saban's wives, who becomes obsessed with devoting herself to one god or another and completely forgets about her family commitments.Īlthough there was plenty of fighting scenes within the book, I don't feel like Cornwell did them justice in this particular book. There are some characters that I really disliked such as Lengar, Saban's older brother, who kills their father and declares himself chief of Ratharryn. He is a believable character which I can definitely get on board with. The story follows the main character Saban through his ordeals to become a man, several marriages, trials and tribulations with various family members and ultimately masterminding the building of Stonehenge. ![]() How it was built really is one of the things that everyone thinks about and Cornwell gives a very plausible explanation. Cornwell writes his own interpretation of how these Bronze aged people lived, why they built this temple that is still inspiring awe today and most importantly how it was built. There are loads of different theories, some of them more likely than the others. ![]() Now one of the great things about writing about a time period 4000 years ago is that nobody really knows what was going on then so it is really open to interpretation. ![]()
