The Armor of Light: A Novel (Kingsbridge) Review: Phenomenal Tapestry - This novel is a phenomenal tapestry intrically woven out of the very different characters Follett initially cobbled together. The way he eventually brings the very diverse stories into an extremely pleasing story woven around historical events such as the effects of industrialization, Napoleon's rise and fall as well as the battle at Waterloo, produces a phenomenal tapestry akin to the fabrics (and their production) his main characters build their lives around. I love his settings, his characters and the peeks into their thoughts, which made the plot difficult to predict (and therefore more enjoyable). I will pick this book up again, I am sure, for it is masterfully written and extremely enjoyable. Review: Back to Kingsbridge - Pillars of the Earth would be one of my most favourite books of all time. Just me. The follow up books have been excellent reads also but definitely 1 step down from Pillars of the earth in my view which still makes them great books. So I had high hopes for "Armour of light" given its been a while for the Author to continue the series. The time period the book is based on makes it fascinatingly interesting and you can tell by the writing style, it is in blocks of research fictionalised to paint an old worldly story about the in-equality and injustices of the time and worker oppression that takes the end of a war to get some resemblance justice back. The key characters are well placed throughout the dialogue and maintain an excellent story continuation even if the different scenarios were some what start - stop through the industrialisation of what was a largely manual fabric making industry. The portrayal of the one sided Laws, their passing and how they were applied gave great insights and underpinned tough times and keeping the masses oppressed. The Napoleon wars and impact on the book made for great historical reading and fitted well with the story. I enjoyed the book as it gives ample opportunity for the reader to take so much from it to appreciate in your own interpretations. I would place it second best in the series and highly recommend it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,385 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #330 in Suspense Thrillers #508 in Historical Thrillers (Books) | | Book 5 of 5 | Kingsbridge | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (40,775) | | Dimensions | 6.6 x 2.14 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0525954996 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0525954996 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 752 pages | | Publication date | September 26, 2023 | | Publisher | Viking | ## Images ![The Armor of Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Nyx-i9E1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal Tapestry *by P***C on June 6, 2025* This novel is a phenomenal tapestry intrically woven out of the very different characters Follett initially cobbled together.

Each book has taken a time in history of Kingsbridge as the making of a town/community and the way of life of the people, society, and governments. This one takes place in the 1800s. To my surprise I found that life was as harsh in this time as it was in medieval times. But I felt I learned a lot of history and got an appreciation for different classes of people. I’d recommend this book to any one who enjoys historical novels. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Armor of Light - The Evening and the Morning --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/565811607-the-armor-of-light](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/565811607-the-armor-of-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
