Reviews

• “After about twenty pages, I’m hooked. I am drawn into the early 15th century power play in the Sweden that had yet to be. ”

• “Niklas Natt och Dag goes about it thoroughly and builds up an equally wonderfully vivid, multi-faceted picture of the 15th century as he did with the 18th century in his historical noir trilogy. /…/ The way he tells a story! The way he portrays! The battle at Tälje Castle becomes a thrilling and unforgettable horror. /…/ The reading never falters because the events that have long been covered in the dust of history become new, alive, and significant.”

• “(…) reading becomes pure joy. Natt och Dag is a stylist with few equals, and the book is a testimony of strength in its linguistic consistency.”

• “The author is a master of language and has the ability to point out the mechanisms and the corruption that allowed people in power to gain advantages.  ”

• “Niklas Natt och Dag’s exciting medieval story impresses.”

• “A Game of Thrones without dragons, set in the Swedish medieval era. (…) Niklas Natt och Dag investigates the mechanisms of power in the same chilling way that George R.R. Martin does in the Game of Thrones series.  ”

• “The author’s language is captivating and drives the plot forward. Hope and Destiny is an exciting, entertaining, and stylistically well-written historical novel with an air of suspense, which makes the book hard to put down.”

• “Hope and Destiny is a masterpiece. /…/ Not only does he capture a strong story, he also manages to repeat the feat of creating a new language, which is somewhat different from the trilogy, and also, even now, adds historical insights that are likely unknown to most of us./…/ Throughout the text there is a fantastic presence, both in time and in the different places where the story takes place. Behind this must lie an enormous amount of research down to the smallest details of the reality that the text depicts.  ”
