Är inne på sista delen 5/5 och tycker att böckerna är kanonbra. Bra författare och uppläsare. Bra miljö och personbeskrivning. Rekommenderas varmt.

Serien blir bara bättre och bättre när man läst fler böcker. Jag älskar serien och har lyssnat om flera gånger, en liknande bok är ”the lies of Lock Lamora”

Den här boken började så bra, med en klassisk rogue och en intressant miljö av länder och karaktärer. Tyvärr tappade den ordentligt när handlingen utvecklades mot vad jag närmast vill kalla tortyrporr, men det kanske inte är helt rättvist. Det var dock obehagligt på fel sätt och utvecklingen därefter smakade illa. Tråkigt för en annars väldigt bra utgångspunkt. Uppläsaren Steve West är fantastisk, och är samma person som även läser upp avslappningsövningar i en app jag har.

Vet inte vad jag tycker om den här, den var väl bra skriven och uppläst men handling fångade aldrig mig. Jag är tveksam om jag lyssnar på flera i serien

Inte alls bra. Var rätt uttråkad rakt igenom och väntade på att något skulle hända. Gav upp efter ungefär 3/4 delar. Väldigt besviken.

DNF i kapitel 5. Sammanfattning av de första 5 kapitlerna; I'm tired! I'm hungry. Hey! Hey! I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm tired!Totalt ointresserad av en dåligt skriven och ointressant huvudperson.Livet är för kort för att slösa tid på tråkiga och dåliga böcker, som denna! 🤢

Välskriven underhållning men utan djupare budskap. Läsvärd.

Came here for the "twist" that the book is praised for. Was disappointed, and even if it was as amazing as hyped it wouldn't have made up for the rest of the book that was just boring...
