Which of these books is the best for a general overview of European Middle-Ages: Civilization of Middle Ages by Norman Cantor or Power and Thrones by Dan Jones?

Basically the title.

These two books are some of the few translated to my language that can offer a big overview of this period of time and I would like to know which one is the best for new readers, which offer the best overview.

Also by best I mean which one is more respected amongst historians and, mainly, which one does a better job at looking over everything.
