the first two parts were amazing. i was transported not even to the medieval exotics of Persia and Uzbekistan, but to my childhood, when fiction reading was the highest / most sought after pleasure. but the last part soaked its ends in the Atlantic turning this otherwise magical story into a blockbuster.
Den beste boken jeg har lest? Mulig. I hvertfall en av de som mest har revet meg med.
