I am hot off discovering an amazing hidden gem in József Gémes 1984 animated film 'Heroic Times', It's an incredible work of animated oil paintings about the life of a knight. It really started making me think about life in that time and has made me want to read a more historically accurate work of fiction but I'm torn on which to read. Pillars of the earth seems like more of an intimate story about characters so that interests me, that being said i have consistently heard that the writing isn't that good. On the other hand, I loved the show adaptation of The Last Kingdom so Cornwell already has a good impression in my head. What are yall's thoughts on these two series as a first historical fiction read.
