Bloody brilliant!
This and its prequel are the fist books that I have read by this author. I can tell you that between the two of them it was nearly 20 hours of pure listening pleasure! I will miss the characters, I will miss the island Rune, I can only hope that there will be a third addition to this series. Everything about the book from the narration to the actual story is nothing short of fantastic.
