The premise was great, and the focus on everyday Medieval life was fascinating, but I disliked every single character from the future timeline (i.e. just about all the main characters). They kept acting in dumbfounding ways, such that by the time I was halfway through I was rooting for reality to win and one of them to die due to their mistakes. Alas it never happened, and I lost interest about 2/3 of the way through.
