Great Book
While this book completely breaks off from Richard and Kahlan and delves into Nicci and Nathan, it does have some of the overused plot lines that have existed throughout the series. I would highly recommend this book as it is much more refreshing than the last couple of books but can be difficult to follow.

Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 12, 2017
Never in history have so many diverse books from the Nordic nations been translated, and in the last five years in the UK and the USA the list has been growing.

There should be something here for every boreal-minded reader to cherish in the coming winter.

As a year-long festival celebrating the region’s writers gets under way in the UK, Icelandic novelist Sjón selects essential reading from the far north.

Clearly, we only know a fraction of our minds
We know that the field of behavioral economics is a kind of the wild west of the sciences, filled with speculation, outlaws, and not a little shenanigans. And yet it is by far one of the most fascinating and controversial sciences on the popular stage.

This story is almost like a love affair between two visionary scholars, Daniel Kahneman and the late Amos Tversky. Their shared admiration and respect for one another, and opposite personalities, led them across the world from Israel, in the pursuit for knowledge.

The author notes the halo effect in which people see favourable attributes and let that impression impact the assessment of other attributes. Kahneman and Tversky later refer to this as Representativeness involving premature characterisation of an object or an individual.

While this is less plot driven than the author's other works The Blind Side, Moneyball, and The Big Short, it is still an endearing tale.
