Hab vergessen den 2. Teil zu lesen, das hat den 3. sehr viel interessanter gemacht. Auf einmal war die Welt und die Story komplex und nicht nur stumpf.

This book took me about four and half months to read. Yes it's long and, yes, I don't read often enough nowadays, but compared to the previous instalments in the trilogy, this one really dragged. It meandered a lot, trying to tie together what were possibly a few too many plotlines. Having spent so much time exploring those, the final few chapters felt too fast, as if Heitz suddenly realised his book was 600 pages long, with no ending in sight. In all honesty, I ended the book wondering if the trilogy was going to end here, because there were a lot of loose ends.
The realm of Girdlegard is a fascinating one, but I think the charm of the dwarves themselves might have run its course. I’d love to read more about the Akronta, for example, and other races of The Outer Lands, but I’ve had my fill of groundlings for now.
Revenge is definitely the poorest in the trilogy, but still a decent if unexceptional read.

Good continuation of the series, but because of the use of a different translator it didn't hit the same notes as the previous two.

Inu...nebylo to špatné. Vlastně nebylo to vůbec špatné. Prozatím to hodnotím jako nejlepší knihu, i když Tungdil mi tam poměrně kvalitně drnkal na nervy po celou dobu knížky. Takže jeho závěrečná absence mě mile potěšila a to překvapení na konci taktéž :D
Jsem zvědavá na další knihu...ne, že bych ji nutně musela číst....ale protože dráček.

I will give it one star because the overarching story is good and interesting enough. And I guess the battle scenes are well enough written.
But overall, the book is a mess. I can't desire who this is written for? Is it Young Adult Grimdark for children? There is plenty of cursing and it's bloody violent. And unlike the first two books, this one is filled with sexual jokes, remarks and sex. It's clear that the author was trying to write more mature characters, but it just comes off as tactless and tasteless.
Tungdil is a weak character; he barely has any character at all. When he and this friends are not killing everything that moves with axes, they are making sexual jokes or thinking about their girlfriends - and they are +70 year old battle-hardened warriors. It's all very much a modern teenagers wetdream. It's a mess! Tungdil always have the politically correct thoughts (from a social-democratic point of view). Maybe the author was afraid that readers would think ill of him personally, if his fictitious characters in a magic and violent medieval fantasy book had honest-to-god opinions that doesn't fit in with a modern European mindset.
Again. The book is a mess.
PS. I got tired of everyone constantly "sending a prayer to Vraccas"; it's all the time!
