Kihrin D'Mon …
Nearly as good as the first book

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.
Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and …
An interesting world written in an interesting style

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.

Norsk fantasy på sitt beste
5 stars
Juva er merket etter handlingene hennes i jernulven. Og historien fortsetter der jernulven sluttet. Selv om dette er bok 2 i det som skal bli en trilogi så, bærer ikke historien preg av dette før man kommer til den siste siden hvor det virkelig bygges opp til starten av bok 3. Likte du jernulven vil du garantert like denne boka også. Hvis du ikke har lest jernulven og har lyst til å lese denne så gjør deg selv en bjørne tjeneste og les jernulven først, for det er få forklaringer om hvordan dette fantasy universet fungerer i sølvstrupen, de er alle i jernulven.
If you'd like to read an english version of this review put it though a translator.

A different kind of book from Christopher Paolini
3 stars
This is a totally different book from To sleep in a sea of Stars, which is a book that I like a lot better. The tone in the book is different, I found it slower paced and darker, but both things fits the story Paolini wanted to tell in this book. It's a book worth reading, but don't expect anything like his previous books.
