The art, as magnificent as it was, didn’t drive the story of The Last Ronin forward as much as I usually like in other graphic novels I read

The Forgotten Names is a historical fiction story of a woman who is trying to find the original names of Jewish kids in France who were hidden from the Nazis

Camino Ghosts by John Grisham was captivating and works as a standalone story, you don’t need to read the previous two books to enjoy this one

I enjoy the Kingsbridge series because of the history and details of how they used to build tremendous buildings without power tools or sophisticated computers
