Couldn't really stop after book 1

We follow Lukan Gardova on his trip to figure out what his father last message to him means. The story is interesting enough and it definitely has a few twists and turns along the way. The world building seems to be really good, however I wish that we had gotten to experience the city of Saphrona a bit more in the book. The history of the world is interesting and I really hope that we get to explore it even further in the future books in the series. There is not that much character growth in this book, however considering the time frame of the story it's not necessary something to hold against the book.

If you like books like The Lies of Locke Lamora then you'll probably enjoy this book as well. If you're more of a big epic fantasy kind of person then it might not be the book for you.

@mvrkws@bookwyrm.social det dere er ikke den letteste omslagsiden å få et godt bilde av heller, men det er en stilig bok når de gjør det slik ja

Beyond the shadows ends all of the ongoing story arcs, and it even sneakily puts in a jumping of point for the next series set in the same world. There's some world building mostly in the part of learning a bit more of the history of the world, and there is a fair bit of character growth as well. It's definitely a fun read although reading the previous two books is kind of a must, but that should not be surprising as this is the third book in a trilogy.

There's quite a few details I missed on my first read through. However nothing revolutionary yet that can form a theory on where the books might continue the story.
