This cover feels like homework. An architectural sketch of cathedral arches dominates the design, hinting at medieval grandeur but not doing much to excite us. It’s handsome, sure. Elegant, even. But it doesn’t pull us in. We’re getting blueprint vibes more than bestseller energy.

The color scheme? Sepia on beige. It’s less “must-read” and more “dusty manuscript in the back of a museum gift shop.” The only real splash of color comes from the black box announcing that Ken Follett wrote it. And wow, did they want us to know that. His name takes up more real estate than the actual title. That’s fine if you’re already a fan, but for the rest of us, it feels like a cover coasting on reputation.

Still, we’ll give the designers some credit: they’re being honest. This cover says, “Yes, this is a historical epic about building cathedrals, and no, there won’t be dragons.” Fair enough.

Based on the Cover, We Think This Book Is About…
It’s clearly about a cathedral, sometime in the past we suppose. Most likely building one.  One thing we know for sure — it’s by KEN FOLLETTT!!!!
