Right, so I had this idea that the last book was a set up to the new book, but for the author it is just that he likes to leave the world in turmoil. Like an open wound he was like 'yeah, I'm gonna let this fester, maybe I'll look into it, maybe I won't'. So I felt the story would pick up where it left of, but I was wrong. It threw me a whopping 250 years into the future.
That took some adjusting. But I managed. I love fairy tales and this mythical land has glimpses of magical things but it is just all so raw and relastic. Nobody is perfect. You have to question everything. I really liked it, it's the only way you can make such long books and keep them interesting.
The 5th book has been out for a while now, but I can't seem to find the English version for that :( So now I'm sad and unsure what to read next.
