This was a really good book. I love everything that he writes. I don’t love the  specific problem in the story and I don’t think there were enough trigger warnings for it, but it was very well written

Not feeling it right now.  It’s rather boring to me.

I was very confused at the ending, as I felt like there was so much more to be said. And then I learned that this was a series I give it higher reading now and I hope Fredrik will forgive me.
