While the shows share some themes (namely sex and power), Pillars holds more formal features in common with nuanced epics to come, like Game of Thrones. A combination of history lesson and HBO drama, it's an exploration of 12th-century events with much more modern sensibilities.Īt the time of its release, Pillars was a departure from the network’s other contemporary success, the sexy bloodbath that is Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

More of the same sarah andersen-style charm and doodles if you liked the first two books, you’re bound to like this one.
