What a wonderful conclusion!
I'm SO glad this series was translated into English.
I always get nervous when diving into the final installment of a series, especially one I've really enjoyed! I was not disappointed with this final book. Hirka and Rime, there was no minimal amount of suffering, Pettersen went all in.
So often I feel with things wrapping up that the final book is often all about the answers and tying it all in. With The Might, there was a lot of that but there was also new things to learn and catalog with the world building. The characters and the world in this series are ... expansive and intricate, deep layers to both. It takes a great skill to morally anchor characters and see them genuinely switch sides.
My gah, the tension of waiting for Hirka and Rime to find their way back to each other. . .
An epic fantasy full of heartache, betrayal, murder, action, love and hope. If you like fantasy, start with Odin's Child and keep going...you won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much to Arctis Books, NetGalley and Siri Pettersen for a gifted earc.

Brilliant high-fantasy novel with fantastic characters and world building. I can't quite grasp the howling execution of the Dreyris. Their whole beings are so well thought out; their personalities, choice of clothing, manners and traditions. Utterly marvelous. Also the foreshadowing with Hirka's good sense of smell. Loved it.

Kan ikke tro at jeg er ferdig med denne fantastiske verdenen. Den kommer alltid til å vere spesiell for meg (uansett om det tok litt tid å bli ferdig)
