Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she …
The second book in the Bloodsworn Saga is beautifully paced, well written and it has a good story. While the story is somewhat predictable does it have it's moments that might surprise you. It's all together a book well worth reading.

This is a book that I just wanted to continue reading to figure out what's going to happen next. The story is well paced and it even includes some down time moments between the actions which is greatly appreciated. The writing is on point and there are quite a few moments where what a character does and says just makes me smile and laugh.
What if you were imprisoned for all eternity?
In the aftermath of the Ritual of …
Last book I wished for more intertwined stories and it really delivers on that front. The story is engaging and it has a couple of interesting surprises in it. I really liked the ending and in some ways would it be nice to end the series here however there are still some loose ends that's needs tidying up in the final book.
Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across …
We get a couple of new "story tellers" in this book, however we have heard of or met most of them in the previous books already. The story picks up shortly after the end of book two, with Khirin, Janel and the rest still on their quest to save the world. The story is moving more and more in a philosophical direction, instead of leaning on the good/evil trope. The end goal is the same for most people however how they want to get there is quite different. And following along might start some interesting discussion amongst reader reading this book in a book club or something. I won't deny that parts off the story is dark however as a whole is it not that bad.
If you're interested in reading this series then definitively start at book 1 since this one assumes a fair bit of knowledge about the …

You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.

Content warning Story spoilers
Calling it a sequel is in some ways wrong as we follow a different cast of characters on their journey of what happened at their location during the first book. They narate the story to Khirin and the intreludes of what happening in real time are really interesting as well are the footnotes of the in universe author of the book. The realtime parts of the book however happens after the first so it's not wrong calling it a sequel. I'm looking forward to figure out where the story is headed next and if there will be as many new characters introduced again. I'm leaning towards no, but I won't be surprised if the opposite is true.
Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and …
Content warning Spoilers on writing style ahead.
It's an interesting book with so many details and reveals that it's probably worth reading it a second time to get to see how many things that were hiding in plain sight that one missed on the initial read of the book. How the story is presented is similar and probably inspired by ||The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss||, the one big downside of this style of writing is that the we know certain things from the start of the story, ||like that the storyteller won't die.|| Other than that is it an interesting and well paced story with quite a few surprises.
Juva er merket for alltid av mannen hun satte fri. Djevelen selv, som holdt evig …
Juva er merket etter handlingene hennes i jernulven. Og historien fortsetter der jernulven sluttet. Selv om dette er bok 2 i det som skal bli en trilogi så, bærer ikke historien preg av dette før man kommer til den siste siden hvor det virkelig bygges opp til starten av bok 3. Likte du jernulven vil du garantert like denne boka også. Hvis du ikke har lest jernulven og har lyst til å lese denne så gjør deg selv en bjørne tjeneste og les jernulven først, for det er få forklaringer om hvordan dette fantasy universet fungerer i sølvstrupen, de er alle i jernulven.

On the planet Talos VII, twenty-three years before the events of To Sleep in a …
This is a totally different book from To sleep in a sea of Stars, which is a book that I like a lot better. The tone in the book is different, I found it slower paced and darker, but both things fits the story Paolini wanted to tell in this book. It's a book worth reading, but don't expect anything like his previous books.

Viking stories meets fantasy and it is a fun combo to read. And as a Norwegian was there some additional easter eggs to find in the book.
