Hon hade lämnat Rime. Han hade kysst henne och hon hade hejdat honom. Utan anledning. Hon var inte rötan. Hade aldrig varit det. Och nu var det för sent. Hirka den svanslösa är inte längre kvar i Ymslanden, istället är hon fast i en värld som är döende, som saknar Kraften och som ruttnar inifrån. I vår urbana tillvaro är Hirka papperslös och ett fritt villebråd. Hennes enda bundsförvanter är en fruktad människojägare och en likfödd och Hirka slits mellan dem. Samtidigt gnager saknaden i henne, saknaden efter Rime och den värld hon kallar hemma. Men allt detta bleknar när hon sakta inser vem hon är och vad hon har för betydelse. Källan till rötan har törstat efter frihet i tusen år. En frihet bara Hirka kan ge honom.

It was maybe even more amazing than the first one. the story is much more than simple fantasy. there are many layers, and it is so well written. I can't really think of anything that I disliked. maybe the outcome for hirka and rime, but actually it was the only thing that could happen. it was interesting to see what they made of the human world, and made me stop and think about what is normal, what we accept, and what we are.
there are many similarities with his dark materials, and I loved those books as well so I am just happy that there is another writer seeing fantasy in another light, with moral and ethical consequences that are spread over everything, and that happy is not the reason the world goes on, and many times we have to make had choices that would not make us happy. it is not a glitter world, and the good and bad are not separate but everything lives within us. who is right is not always easy to know as well and it differs depending from which direction we are looking. it is not a story like many others, it is not an easy story, but it is so much more fulfilling to read and question everything than read something else and have no questions.
