This book is set some years after The last mortal bond, and it is the first book in a new trilogy. There are repeat characters from his earlier books as well as some totally new ones, the amount of character development some of the characters go through is extremely large when compared to his previous books and I like it. Even if I don't necessarily always like the way the character develop is it mostly rooted in reasons that's understandable. The world is expanded quite a lot in this book and we learn even more of the history of it. And I'm really looking forward to see how things will play out in the next books. I think that most people would enjoy the book, and I think quite a few people will like this book even if they disliked the earlier books by Brian Staveley

Where the first book did a great job introducing us to the world is first in this book that we get to see the greater mysteries of the world. Like who is the Sack witch, which role does Alwyn Scribe and Lady Evadine Courlain have in everything that happens. The story is well told, but dark and gritty. I like it better as I felt like Alwyn was more in charge of it here then in the first book the Pariah, and the world has grown on me. If you liked the first book definitively read this one, if you hated it skip this one, and if you're on the fence I'd say give this one a try I think it will surprise you.

I like this book more than the first one. The story is as good as in the first one, and the way it's told I think flows way better in this one, largely because it doesn't split the story and setting in two the same way which the first book did. Where Ninth House introduced us to many aspects of the world of Lethe is Hell Bent more focused, the collage and collage societies takes more of a back seat in this book, and works beautiful as a setting for the story. While we focus on what's important for Alex Stern, which is to rescue Darlington.

The second book in the Bloodsworn Saga is beautifully paced, well written and it has a good story. While the story is somewhat predictable does it have it's moments that might surprise you. It's all together a book well worth reading.

This is a book that I just wanted to continue reading to figure out what's going to happen next. The story is well paced and it even includes some down time moments between the actions which is greatly appreciated. The writing is on point and there are quite a few moments where what a character does and says just makes me smile and laugh.

Last book I wished for more intertwined stories and it really delivers on that front. The story is engaging and it has a couple of interesting surprises in it. I really liked the ending and in some ways would it be nice to end the series here however there are still some loose ends that's needs tidying up in the final book.

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.

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.

Viking stories meets fantasy and it is a fun combo to read. And as a Norwegian was there some additional easter eggs to find in the book.
