Just Not Good

This is an awful book. I pre-ordered it, and was looking forward to it's release. I have read the previous books in this series, and they were all pretty good. This one is not. The characters get more and more unlikable. The story line is full of absurd coincidences, impossible conclusions, and pointless meandering. I kept reading, hoping it would all come together and get better, but it did not. Several plot lines, none of which were developed enough, or tied together with the others. Shouldn't have wasted the time. Take a pass on this book.

In wrong order

I have now read books one thru three in this series by Ragnar Jónasson. I’ve enjoyed all three, but they are in the wrong order. This book should be number two and Nightblind third. Events in this book occur before things happening in Nightblind. I waited for it to be some kind of flashback, but there never was. Not great literature, but interesting main character

Speaker destroys the names & locations

I understand not everyone speaks a certain language. But this series is set in Iceland, with traditional names and locations/towns. Couldn’t they get a Scandinavian person who can say names & locations correctly. It’s extremely distracting

Very Good

I really enjoyed this book and the fact that things came together organically with out forced twists and turns to throw me off.

The characters were well developed and more than one secret put together several story points.

Will Dalton is always a fantastic narrator. I enjoyed listening to Sarah for the first time.

Les than you pay for

This free book is a textbook example of getting less than you pay for. Trite story, stick figure characters, sententious narration.
