This was leisurely... Super leisurely, 500 pages worth of leisurely. I don't think there was enough twists and turns to warrant 500 pages, I skipped 50 or so only to find nothing had happened and I'd not missed anything.

Maybe a better editor. Gregory also needs to work on the dialogue between characters which I don't find convincing myself.

Apart from that, good holiday read and interesting discovering more about Ely and the lives of monks.
