4 years, and 4 days later and I've finished reading! No Danish isn't quite that hard to read, but it's certainly slower going still, even with a story I know pretty well. Glad I'm reading more again now I have some reading glasses though!

The end of an excellent saga. I had a few issues with some of the turns of phrase in this book (or indeed series) which feel overly modern, perhaps these would be fine if the book was written in third person, but jar a little given it is in first. And having read the first two books, by half way through this book I felt like things were beginning to drop off, but then the story comes back with possibly it's darkest arc and finishes with gusto!
In fact that final third probably added a star to my rating.
A strong ending to an enjoyable series.
