This is one of my holy grail book series. I grew up with it, it's such a tangible piece of my country's history and culture. I cannot tell you how excited I am that it is getting an English translation.

It's beautifully written, expertly crafted. And it gets bonus points for being written by a Norweigan author.

Miluju tu knihu! Poprvé po dlouhé době se mi stalo, že se mi kniha zalíbila hned od začátku v prvních kapitolách. Je to trochu jiný typ fantasy, což oceňuji. Začátek mohl být docela zmatený, protože vás autorka rovnou hodí do úplně jiného světa plného jiných názvů, jiného systému atd. Díky tomu se mi povedlo, se do příběhu plně ponořit a naopak se mi líbilo, jak všechno postupně a pomalu zjišťuji až později. Kdo je to Vidoucí (který je tam věčně zmiňován), jsem třeba zjistila až po 300 stránkách. A ono se to pomalu slepovalo dohromady jako puzzle.
Strašně jsem soucítila s Hirkou, když nevěděla kým je, bála se obřadu a nemohla se začlenit mezi ostatní. Rimeho úplně zbožňuju!! Kniha obsahuje dost popisných částí, autorka popisuje vše do detailu. Někdy to bylo i otravné, když nutně potřebujete zjistit, proč se stalo tohle nebo co se stane dál. :D Ale jinak mi autorčin styl psaní hrozně sedl. Myslím, že mám novou oblíbenou spisovatelku a o sérii nemluvě!

Wow. This truly an epic story and deals with SO many important themes. Hirka and Rime's journeys are definitely one of the best coming-of-age stories that I've read in a long time.

Also - the English translation of this series is excellent. I'm excited to get onto the next book asap.
