![]() ![]() The “miraculously handsome” Brother Aldred, a scholar, finds himself confronted with corruption in the church, personified in Wilf’s cartoonishly evil brother, Wynstan, a bishop. ![]() Ragna, smart, independent, and beautiful, is trapped in an unfulfilling marriage.

Edgar, the teenage son of a boatbuilder, is planning to run off with a married woman until a Viking attack on his village in the west of England leaves her dead that tragedy leads to his family’s move to Dreng’s Ferry, the future Kingsbridge, and to his developing career as a builder. ![]() This time, the action spans 997–1007 CE, and the leads are Edgar, Ragna, and Aldred, whose lives intersect multiple times despite their disparate backgrounds. The structure will feel familiar to series devotees it centers on the intertwined stories of three people: a man who is good with his hands, an attractive noblewoman, and a cleric. Follett delivers a lackluster prequel to his Kingsbridge series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dave and Zara are incredibly HOT together and they have a great connection. I loved the characters, they were both so good and normal, like they could be your friends. Sarina Bowen is a must buy author for me! This series has been great from book 1 but this one was my favorite I think. I loved this book and stayed up all night to finish it. ![]() ![]() The fields and the orchards - and hard-won love - are bountiful. Or does it?

What to read before Green Lantern by Geoff Johns? But as the Torchbearer Kyle Rayner is about to find out, the adventure of epic and mythological proportions is about to begin as the former Lantern returns to the land of the living to atone for his sins. Here is the official synopsis: It’s been years since the death of Hal Jordan and the end of the Green Lantern Corps. ![]() That said, DC Comics can’t stop republishing Johns’s books, but Tomasi’s work is becoming hard to find. Peter Tomasi was in charge of the Green Lantern Corps series, and reading the two together is highly recommended. If Geoff Johns is mostly credited for the success of the Green Lantern title at that time, he was not alone. Johns started by bringing back Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern Corps ( he became The Spectre after his redemptory appearance as Parallax in the 1996 event The Final Night), then he introduced new concepts and expanded the Green Lantern mythos in a big way that still defined it to this day. It certainly is influential, it leads to the famous Blackest Night event, and it was epic and full of colors. When you look into Green Lantern, Geoff Johns’s run is considered the one to read. ![]() |
