I really enjoyed the second book in this trilogy and can't wait to start the last chapter in Arn and Cecelia's story.

This is a fun historical fiction series set in medieval Sweden. I read it in the original Swedish, so I can't say if the translation is any good, but the story is engaging. It's in the mode of a standard fantasy in the sense that the protagonist is unbelievably adept at anything he tries, a regular renaissance man 600 years before his time.

Rigtig god og spændende bog. Hovedpersonerne er blevet mere menneskelige og lettere at forstå og dermed føle for, en tilfældet var i den første bog. Den er spækfyldt med intriger, magtspil, politik, hykleri, snyd, bedrag og mord. Tror den giver et godt indblik i hvordan den katolske kirke og samfundet fungerede i slutningen at 1100-tallet.
