Kihrin and friends final adventure
5 stars
The final book of the series doesn't disappoint, it closes the different story beats and still manages to have a few fun surprises left for us. That Jenn found place for even more world building and character development in this book is kinda astonishing. And I found the ending pretty satisfactory if not a bit convoluted.
All in all a good end to the series and it's a series worth reading in my mind.

Alright norsk fantasy
4 stars
Premisset bak boka er interesant, og relativt godt gjennomført, men jeg savner litt mere tid til å utforske stedene man besøker. Katja og Bragd er til tider litt ensformige, men ikke nok til at det skader fortellingen. Har man lyst til å lese norsk fantasy så er det verdt å lese den.

The Gentleman Bastards continued adventures

The fallout of Red Seas Under Red Skies, greatly influences the premise behind this book, as this book is set about two months after the last one. In my mind is this a strength of the narrative as we for once know the same things as the main characters. The story is interesting and it contains a few huge revelations about some of the characters. The character development is great and the world feels like lived in real place even though we again have new locations. The one big downside of the book is that it ends on a cliffhanger and that it is eleven year since this book was released.
If you liked any of the previous books read it, and I think most people that like fantasy will enjoy what we currently have of the Gentleman Bastards. My suggestion is to start at the first book however you …

The Gentleman Bastards strikes again
5 stars
A few years has passed since the last time we saw Locke and Jean, and they have established themselves in the city of Tal Verrarr planning another spectacular heist. It's interesting to see how they deal with everything that's they face of challenges in they way of their heist, and how they deal with the outfall of both them and the ending of the last book. Even though we have moved away from the city of Camorr is the worldbuilding still great and we get to visit quite a few interesting places, and meet a few interesting persons. A few potential action sequences where cut from the book, however the way it was done was quite clever so I can't be to hard about it.
It's a great book that I'd recomend to everyone that have read The Lies of Locke Lamora if you haven't I'd recomend that you start …

It's a great book that I'd recomend to everyone that have read The Lies of Locke Lamora if you haven't I'd recomend that you start there, although you'll probably be fine jumping into things here as well. The main downside of th Gentleman Bastard sequence is that it's far from finished, and the gap between book 3 and 4 is on over 10 years.

A drepressing future
4 stars
First of all I enjoyed the TV series more than the book. Both are a bit slow at the beginning, and to certain degrees follow different story lines, which is kinda expected. The world is kinda interesting, but the setting never gripped me as much as I hoped it would, and it is a depressing setting. All in all well worth a read. If you enjoyed the show you might be a bit disapointed by the book all depending on which part of the show you enjoyed the most.

This book took an unexpectedly long time to read, I guess commuting more by bike instead of public transport is partly to blame. The book had an interesting end, it did however take a little while to pick up steam.
