I read The Lowenskold Ring about a week ago. Beautifully short and haunted, eerie book about revenge from beyond grave. It’s about a stolen ring that brings torment and suffering to anybody who comes to find it whether their intentions were innocent or greedy until it’s taken back to the rightful owner in his tomb. I found the book a perfect companion for readers who are drawn to ring mystery in Lord of the Rings.
To me it read like a book where Astrid Lindgren (if she were to have a kinship for dark mystery) met Lord of the Rings. Definitely a book Jaime Lannister would read on a long ride. A haunting piece of swedish literature with morality, character building and resonance. Brutal… mysterious. Beautiful book. Had a strong wish to share how I felt about the first book. Definitely my favorite from the trilogy and Selma’s books I read so far.
