7/10

It was pretty good. The thing that turned me off the most was probably the last chapter in which each character sternly says, “I will never believe you ever again” ten seconds before running face first into another Lie of Locke Lamora.

The world is growing on me, and the epilogue sets up the next entry so I am looking forward to more.

9/10

Everything was cool, that is all I have to say.

9/10

An awesome conclusion to what has become my favourite fantasy series. The characters are wrapped up beautifully and in his classic style way Ambercrombie manages to make not a single main character happy with their situation.

8.5/10

Awesome all the way to the end. The final battle was a bit confusing to me, and I am not sure how to feel about the first part of that epilogue. It seemed a bit rushed and too easy to me. The second part of the epilogue was unexpected and sets up the next two books nicely.

10/10

It just keeps getting better. Abercrombies attention to detail is simply amazing.
The repeated quotes by some characters make them all feel unique and memorable. The way characters years later start quoting each other is just perfect. Even the chapter names make me want to keep on reading every time.

Just like in the rest of the First Law World, my favorite chapters are the ones where we see the same event from multiple points of view. This time we get to see chaos and war from the eyes of the man on the ground, while the rest of the story follows the people on the top of the food chain. These chapters were absolutely perfect. It goes to show that this is a story about the characters, to the level that a character I have never heard of before and will never see again can have a serious impact on the chapter through a single paragraph.

Finally, Steven Pacey, the narrator for the audiobooks, is at the pinnacle of narration with this series.

10/10

Once again, I find myself just doing chores around the house to have an excuse for listening to this audibook. It was absolutely fantastic. The story is pretty good, but the characters are stunning. How does he do it?

Odin: “Boys, we have a problem”
Loki: “I guess I'll turn into an animal of some sort and fix it.”
Thor: “Me smash!”

That was it. It was great. 7.5/10

9/10

Back on track after the chaos of the previous books. Fun twists and turns that you never see coming.

This floor: 3/10. Everything else: 9/10

The first third was good and not too complicated as the characters didn't even know what was going on. At some point, however, they knew everything about the layout, and the entire book spiralled into chaos. I have read hundreds of pages while repeatedly thinking the same as the characters themselves: “Please God, just let me move on to the next floor.”

5.5/10

I will have to reread this in written format. This rating might be unfair as I felt that most of the problems with pacing and me being confused all the time could be solved by reading the written version.

9/10

Goddamnit, Donut. These books are incredible. Today, I actually had to make the very hard choice of whether to play Baldurs Gate with my friends or keep reading about some other guy “playing” an RPG.

I have also stolen about half of this book for my dnd campaign.

9.5/10

Just pure fun. It was refreshing for me to read something where the humor is front and center rather than just some comedic relief dribbled between all the grimdark. Every single character is likeable and familiar. On to the next one!

9.5/10

Super cool and detailed magic system. Short and to the point. I loved that the main protagonist is struggling with having no powers, and his only way to get what he want is to trust other people he wouldn't have trusted if he didn't need to.

9/10

This was a 7/10 for me all the way until the end. However, my headcannon is now that Brandon has Kelsier, Dalinar, and Wit as his own imaginary crew at all times. That put a smile on my face for sure.

7/10

Unlike the previous three books, I think I would have liked reading this better than listening to it. The story in itself was good, I just had major problems really getting into the characters.

9/10

The idea behind the main character is just as good and well executed as the first book. I love that the aspects are expanded on, but also that we explore how he would work without them.

9/10

This is such a cool idea. I really hope someone adapts this into a series. The aspects are interesting and I just want to meet more of them. The way Leeds doesn't want to acknowledge that the work being done is all him is very relatable.

-1 point because it should have been longer and the motivation in the story was a bit shallow.

9/10

I feel like I just read a short version of Kaladins' character development. It was awesome to read a male viewpoint in this series, especially one dealing with anxiety and immense pressure. To me, Jorgen feels like the most relatable and realistic character in this series (thus far).

As always with this man, his magic systems and world just expand endlessly. Bravo!

8.5/10

Compelling story and an interesting viewpoint. It is always cool to explore Sandersons' new worlds, and this book really dove into the taynix magic system.

7.5/10

I love seeing the story play out from different points of view, so this was a cool book. It feels like it was cut a bit short, but ReDawn might solve that. It might also have been more intriguing if I read this while I was reading the main Skyward story rather than a year after.

7/10

Some cool backstory, but very direct and to the point. Could have benefited with some more meat on the bone.

6/10
This one was kinda weird. I don't really know what to say.

9/10

Wonderfully stupid and witty. The story is fun and super fast-paced. As per usual, we are able to explore an interesting magic system and world. I have no idea how this man never runs out of ideas for new planets.

Definitely recommended even if you haven't read any cosmere at all!

10/10

This book was awesome. I love more or less every single character even though they can be stereotypical sometimes. Gloktas inner monologues are amazing, also due to Steven Paceys wonderful narration. The ending is surprising considering this is the end of a trilogy, so I guess I'll just have to move directly onto the next one.

7/10
Veldig bra bok, men ikke helt det vi lette etter. Starten var perfekt og oppsummeringen av grunnferdigheter og problematferd i slutten av boken er kjempebra!

Vi lette egentlig etter en bok for å sette oss mer inn i det å skaffe hund selv og endte derfor opp med å hoppe over mange av kapitlene som handlet med om forfatterne enn hundehold. Hvis dette er det man ser etter en nok denne boken en klar innertier!
