Review of 'The wheel of Osheim' on 'Goodreads'

Satisfying conclusion to this trilogy about the likeable anti-hero Prince Jalan, liar, coward, cheater, thief.

In order to stop a catastrophe this unlikely hero has to be the one to turn off the Wheel of Osheim, a Large Hadron Collider in what was formerly known as Leipzig, before the Builders set off a nuclear disaster that changed the world.

It's really more post-apocalyptic fantasy than anything else in this installment, with lots of necromancy to boot. I can't say I fully understood how it all worked, and how the Blue Lady was so dangerous, but it was a fun ride with Jalan and Snorri, and I enjoyed it a lot.
