This had better work, she thought to herself, or I'm going to have to have a "I'm hole-y-er than you" talk with Xivan

This got me thinking of the joke Fred or George tell quite early in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

We get a couple of new "story tellers" in this book, however we have heard of or met most of them in the previous books already. The story picks up shortly after the end of book two, with Khirin, Janel and the rest still on their quest to save the world. The story is moving more and more in a philosophical direction, instead of leaning on the good/evil trope. The end goal is the same for most people however how they want to get there is quite different. And following along might start some interesting discussion amongst reader reading this book in a book club or something. I won't deny that parts off the story is dark however as a whole is it not that bad.
If you're interested in reading this series then definitively start at book 1 since this one assumes a fair bit of knowledge about the …

And then came the actual riding of said horses, which felt like half a sex act that managed to skip all the fun parts.
— Memory of Souls by Jenn Lyons (A Chorus of Dragons, #3) (Page 546)
That's one way of describing horse riding
@mvrkws@bookwyrm.social tenker det viktigste er at man koser seg med å lese. Uavhengig av hvor mange bøker man leser iløpet av et år. Personlig bruker jeg lesemål som et mål jeg ønsker å oppnå og som jeg tror er realistisk at jeg når.
@mvrkws@bookwyrm.social Lykke til, jeg har heller havnet der at jeg vil lese ferre, bedre og eventuelt tjukkere bøker, en nesten en i uka. Men det er definetivt en interesant og morsom utfordring å se om man klarer å nærme seg det antallet bøker iløpet av et år.

Content warning Story spoilers
Calling it a sequel is in some ways wrong as we follow a different cast of characters on their journey of what happened at their location during the first book. They narate the story to Khirin and the intreludes of what happening in real time are really interesting as well are the footnotes of the in universe author of the book. The realtime parts of the book however happens after the first so it's not wrong calling it a sequel. I'm looking forward to figure out where the story is headed next and if there will be as many new characters introduced again. I'm leaning towards no, but I won't be surprised if the opposite is true.

Content warning Spoilers on writing style ahead.
It's an interesting book with so many details and reveals that it's probably worth reading it a second time to get to see how many things that were hiding in plain sight that one missed on the initial read of the book. How the story is presented is similar and probably inspired by ||The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss||, the one big downside of this style of writing is that the we know certain things from the start of the story, ||like that the storyteller won't die.|| Other than that is it an interesting and well paced story with quite a few surprises.
