🌟 This review was written after receiving the book from Biche Publishing. 📚 “Kingdom” 🌲 “How far would you fall for the sake of someone you love?” – The most vicious shackles of blood. The king of thrillers, Jo Nesbø, sets aside the Harry Hole series for a moment to invite us to the rugged Norwegian mountain village of 'Oss'. “Kingdom” is the story of a solid yet precarious kingdom built by Rowe and Karl, the only two brothers in the world. Twisting the myth of 'Cain and Abel' from Genesis

Jo Nesbø is now the representative author of Nordic suspense!!

Kingdom: A Jo Nesbø Novel by Bichae. While the name 'Jo Nesbø' easily brings the Harry Hole series to mind, I have encountered a rare thriller featuring a seemingly ordinary person as the protagonist, distinct from the Harry Hole franchise. Its substantial thickness immediately makes one exclaim, "This is indeed Jo Nesbø!" The story unfolds against the backdrop of Ås, a quiet rural village in Norway. Rowe Kalvin Ofgaard and Carl Abel Ofgaard are inseparable brothers. Having lost their parents

I bought it because I thought it would be fun. The book is thicker than I expected.

The King of Thrillers returns as a standalone, not a series, with the weight of 748 pages! The author Jo Nesbø, who needs no introduction, is back. His father tells Lowe that he must protect his frail younger brother, Carl, and their mother. Now an adult, Lowe lives a solitary seclusion running a gas station in the small Norwegian village of Oos. After 15 years, Carl returns to his hometown of Oos with Shannon after completing his business studies in the United States. Unlike his older brother

*Kingdom* is written by Jo Nesbø, Norway's national author, musician, journalist, and economist. (He's not just a great writer!) Nesbø's standalone *Kingdom* is incredibly thick, just like his previous works. I wondered when I would ever finish reading such a massive book, but the pages turned in an instant. Lowe, who lives in the small rural village of Os, runs a gas station. His younger brother, Carl, who lost their parents early and relied on him for support, returns home after 15 years. He

Among the one-line reviews on the back cover, the *New York Journal of Books* stated: "The world Jo Nesbø depicts is desolate or will soon be desolate. He is the greatest storyteller, devoid of any mercy." Reading the latter half now, I deeply resonate with this sentence. It feels as if my mind is being torn to shreds. To think he sweeps the reader over like this, I am once again amazed by the author's compositional skills and writing prowess. It is also a book I would like to read with my

This weekend, I open Jo Nesbø's long-awaited new book. It is a brick of a book, spanning over 750 pages. Nevertheless, I do not worry about when I will finish it. As always, I will sit down and immerse myself in it, reading it to the very end. For me, Jo Nesbø's books have always been like that. And this time, too, he did not disappoint. As soon as I opened the book, I recalled Jo Nesbø's previous work, the 'Detective Harry Hole series,' and sharpened my senses, wondering what kind of incident

p.70 Am I envious of Carl? Well, I think everyone wants to be loved. But if I could switch places with Carl, would I? Would I willingly allow people to get close to me like Carl does? It didn't seem difficult at all for Carl. But I would have to pay a very high price. Carl, resembling a show-off bird like the 'Skylark,' has returned home after fifteen years with a project to build a hotel on the mountaintop. Lowe, resembling a shy and cautious bird like the 'Round-necked Thrush,' feels complex
