Maybe I should stop reading this book??? But then I get a bit curious about how it will end, and it is standing in the store every month, just begging me to buy it... But I think that maybe I'll close my eyes and walk past this month, because these books are so poorly written it hurts my eyes, soul and mind...

We finally know who Tiril's mother is.
Yet still many mysteries remain unsolved.

Still enjoyable, but I honestly don't know what to expect from this series.
Since Muri has no drive to better himself in his witchcraft, since the love triangle is officially over, it just feels a bit too lovey-dovey in a way. Theoretically they had no physical closeness but the atmosphere between them is still overly sweet.

I have this uneasy feeling that this whole "master" will be just as lame as Tengel from the ice people.
The people chasing after Tiril don't really create tension. It's more like "Oh those idiots again, whatever".

I still appreciate the series for all the little things, the less important stuff have more of an impact.

I'm still intrigued to see who Tiril's father is. Fingers crossed, I hope that the series will continue to grow and get better.

SPOILER


Well the ending answered the questions to some of my worries. Our main couple will be officially cast aside, as the child will play a more important role. I honestly don't mind another story about generations as long as it doesn't stretch too far, the further it goes the more confusing it gets, the less you care. 11 books left, so ideally it would stop at grandchild if author decides to play this game.
I hope though that the main couple will stay a little longer and that the story will stop at the child.

Ígéretes kezdés után erős visszaesés!
A történet borzasztóan gyenge, szétesős, az ígért "rejtélyek" helyett a világ legbénább gyilkossági kísérletét kapjuk. Mórinak valójában már nincs motivációja, hogy tovább kutasson a Vörös Pergamen után, Tirillel bevallották, hogy szeretik egymást, a szerelmi háromszögnek (ahol a harmadik hol egy mágikus könyv, hol egy szenvedélyes bárónő, esetleg egy Hanza kereskedő) itt vége is van, Tirill anyját megtaláltuk, a gonosz férj halott, az egykori szegény lányra minden oldalról ömlik a pénz.

Az igazi rejtély az, hogy Tirill, habár se nem igazán szép se nem különösebben okos vagy tehetséges, mégis a két férfikarakter fókuszának a gyújtópontjában marad mint vágyaik tárgya. Érthetetlen.

Ezzel együtt Tirillt továbbra is üldözik a gyilkosok, bár különösebb izgalmak nélkül, nagyjából úgy, mint egy japán anime sorozatban megjelenik a napi kötelező gonosz, akit a főhős móresre taníthat. Ez esetben semmi másra nem szolgálnak mint Móri láthatatlan kísérete demonstrálhatja rajtuk az erejét.

Kíváncsi voltam, hogyan végződik és van e értelme a többi könyv után kutatni, de nem hiszem, hogy megéri az időt. Megtanulhatnám már, hogy Sandemo 10 könyvéből legfeljebb 3 jó, :)

So exciting and so worth reading. I'm so glad I got to read these books because I absolutely love them all and I have no problem with reading them all over and over again.

Back in Christiania the attempts on Tiril's life escalates and she finds that Mori's invisible companions are her closest allies. A royal ball gives them opportunity to find Tiril's mother and Tiril has to come to grip with the fact she comes from European royalty. Mori struggles with his love for Tiril and his vow to celibacy as he will not doom Tiril to the death and shadows that is his life. The fourth book of the series mainly focuses on finding the truth about Tiril's past.

Tiril finally finds her biological mother and marries Mori, but life would be to easy without Order of the Sun
