Øyvind finished reading Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks
Øyvind quoted Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks
"Ooooh." said Vi, feeling very very stupid. "So the book made up all that stuff? Just off-the-cuff?" "Off-the-margin, you mean?" "Huh?" "Never you mind. You said when you fil ahead the pages are blank?" Vi noded. "The magic on the book senses who's reading it; that's why only you can read it. It wants to only be read by you, so when anyone else tries, there's some kind of trap triggered..."

"What is it with men and breast" Vi said aloud. Across the room, Sister Ariel looked up curiously. "Actually---" "I don't---I don't think you're the right person to answer that," Vi said. "No offense."

Øyvind quoted Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks
She scoffs, amused. "Kylar, if you were going to retire, you'd've done it."
"You wouldn't have done that job at the Repha'im estate. Some of my best agents have been doing 'one last job' for me for twenty years, Kylar. ruth is, people like us don't get new jobs. We're lucky if we get new masters---a thousand time luckier that most if our new master as i man like Logan. No matter how you lie to yourself, you'll get pulled back into the life, and the longer you wait to do what you must, the more heartache and grief you'll cause everyone around you.

Just seems to sum up the premise of the story in this book
Øyvind reviewed Traitor by Anthony Ryan (Covenant of Steel, #3)
A decent end to this series
4 stars
The traitor finishes the story of Alwyn Scribe that started back in the pariah, and I have some of the same issues with this book that I had with that one. Simply put there's just something about how this story is narrated in these two books that I didn't have an issue with in the martyr. However I'm unable to tell what the is though. I enjoyed the story and the characters and the setting. Alwyn is an interesting character to follow and how Lady Evadine Courlain characters develops through the story is both interesting and scary. We get to see more of the world and get some answers however I have at least as many new questions as the ones that got solved. Parts of the book felt a bit fast tracked however I'm uncertain if slowing them down would work either as that would make the story a …

Parts of the book felt a bit fast tracked however I'm uncertain if slowing them down would work either as that would make the story a lot slower. All in all I think that it is a decent book, that seems to be set in a world where a huge part of the world building is inspired by the catholic church, and to some part Christianity in general.

Øyvind reviewed Gold by Raven Kennedy (The Plated Prisoner Series, #5)
What I thoght the final book would be in the series
4 stars
Gold starts of more or less straight after the events of Glow, when I started reading the book I thought it was the final book and it does a good job at starting to tie up the loose ends and we finally get to learn a lot more about Anwynn giving us a fair bit of world building in the book as well. The book is building towards a final confrontation that happens in Goldfynch, so the ending is not as satisfactory as it could have been. However it works great as a cliff hanger and setup for the next book. The book is definetly worth reading if you liked the previous books, just be warned you might want to read the next one quickly after this one.

A fun end to the story
5 stars
Godlfinch starts right where gold finished Annwyn and Orea is at war with each other and the story takes us through how the war and the battles in it unfolds. Whlie Raven does a decent job at describing the action in the battles is it not the strongest point in the story that's goes to describing the interpersonal feelings for participants and their loved ones both during and after the battles.
Even though this is the final book in the series are there still space for some more character growth, and while I'd love for certain things to end differently are there nothing unsatisfactory with the ending of the story. And there is some final pieces of world-building happening here as well.
The series as a whole is worth a read if you're into romantic fantasy, and I think most fantasy readers will like it as well. This book is …

The series as a whole is worth a read if you're into romantic fantasy, and I think most fantasy readers will like it as well. This book is in some ways a departure from the earlier book however I feel that's mostly form Raven having to split the final book in two more than anything else.
