The certainties of the modern world are about to be blown apart by a three thousand year-old conspiracy nurtured by blood and lies … The novel is mostly medical fiction, but it is also a good portrayal of a doctor's life, the hardships they face in carrying out their duties, the struggle to keep a decent professional front amidst financial difficulties, and the normal human feelings of love, separation, loss, grief, and hope. The sympathetic presentation of these professional men, showing that they are also humans with feelings in their non-professional capacity is really touching. Cronin may not be a literary genius, but his presentation of them is genuine and heartfelt. Andrew Manson earns readers' sympathy, and though his conduct is not always noble, he is a likable hero, because he feels real and human. And so are the other characters. Even those you don't like are relatable. Reading the story was almost like reading a true story. Dacă persistăm, încercând doar să dovedim că toate merg de minune în meseria noastră, și că, în afară de meseria noastră, nu mai există nimic bun - atunci, într-adevăr, aceasta înseamnă moartea progresului științific."

I think the book is admirably researched with some wonderfully detailed imagery and descriptions. However, I found the length off-putting and it was hard to keep up with all the characters as some of them melded together they were so indistinct. I found the supernatural element distracting and felt it undermined the careful planning and research that went in to telling the Resistance story. I also couldn't have given two hoots about the medieval plot that was interwoven. I just didn't find it interesting even though there were some beautifully written passages.

It's been a while since I read anything non Historical, but had this recommended to me, so I bumped it up the pile. Whenever a novelist sets out to send a social or moral or political message, he/she risks publishing a piece of journalism (or, heaven forbid, a diatribe) and the novel burdened with carrying the message is likely to suffer for it. The protagonist may sound like a pitchman, a preacher or an investigative journalist, in which case the underlying story becomes mere window dressing. The works of many novelists of our day, especially those whose themes focus on the environment, economics, race relations, political conflict, poverty, the illicit drug trade etc. suffer from this syndrome.

An explosive apocalyptic conspiracy thriller from a major new British talent that will set the world alight… This is the story of a young country doctor life and how he struggled to become a successful doctor in a big city.

Then we meet a Dark Ages monk who is protecting a scroll known as the Codex. This secondary plot should have been left out of the book. It distracted me. It takes too much away from what could have been a great story of courageous female resistance fighters. Apparently Kate Mosse always includes a supernatural twist to her novels and this is why she had to force this storyline in for the trilogy to make sense. It’s a pity because it ruins the novel.

The Citadel is my favourite novel without doubt. I will always love this book no matter how many brilliant books I read in the future. I treat this book with a kind of reverence which I give to no other novels and that has a lot to do with how I came across the book and the time at which I read it. And another book that should not be forgotten is The Physician by Noah Gordon, which is already in my TBR list for quite some time already. Mosse is the queen of historical mystery. She understands more than most historical writers how to weave the past with the present. In fact, she's more than adept at writing two parallel tales with hundreds of years between the two. As the stories unfold, it becomes more evident how Mosse intends to connect the parallel tales. At the end of season 1 of Citadel, there was a trailer for the franchise's spin-off titled Citadel: Diana, which will air in 2024. [22] Reception [ edit ]
