Toll the Hounds (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #8)

Epilogue: There is no bell that could toll for me now.*
Chapter 24: She was there! All the time!
Chapter 23: Rake, dear me Rake�
Chapter 22: What an army, what an epic army: Bridgeburners on the tip, Dujek on the left and Wickans on the right flank then Brukhalian’s Grey Swords. You could conquer the whole universe!
Chapter 21: Scott said: “Hold on, because this is when it starts!� Well, hold mysword coffee.
Chapter 20: The alliance goals: to keep Darkness in, Chaos out and Death down.
Chapter 19: I am not going to blame your choices on anyone, you are a grown woman, but Chalice, yours is the saddest love story I read in a while.
Chapter 18: Some deaths are late and overdue, late and overdue, and late and late, and overdue and late and Kallor. And not that I am repeating myself. Just emphasising. Or going Kadaspala?
Chapter 17: My fists are clenched for all the Snells of the world. Our world.
Chapter 16: The Dragnipur world is the death toll and toll the death knell at the same time. I am rarely saying this but really, my mind is blown.
Chapter 15: Just thinking about the hypothetical Pink Moranth made me pause.
Chapter 14: When somebody says “oops!� when unleashing an undead dragon, know that they care. Clear all the paths for Traveller. Take all the burdens from Rake (save that one that makes even the stones tremble).
Chapter 13: That is one fat dead-undead army on the march.
Chapter 12: Between Karsa and Traveller versus Itkovian and Seerdomin I think I prefer the second bromance. (please note, both have a female in the background)
Chapter 11: My heart breaks for all the Harllos of the world. Our world.
Chapter 10: This kelyk thing is beyond terrifying.
Chapter 9: Despite all my love, I don’t think I’d ever share a meal with you, Kruppe (perspective as wide as the waistline notwithstanding).
Chapter 8: Gothos! That was an absolute folly!
Chapter 7: I so hoped we see the bole sister finally. Alas, two more brothers (again). And the dark side of the moon.
Chapter 6: If you set personal goals, go for the throat (as they say, he he), don’t be satisfied with the easy. Kill death and vomit rainbows.
Chapter 5: And THIS IS WHY every self-respecting burglar should take a cat on as a team-mate, right Torvald (you ungrateful nob, not even hello kitty!)? Also, best chapter so far, a masterpiece, truly - and there is 19 more to go!
Chapter 4: That is a beautiful prayer when you don’t want your deity to be lonely. (And is there a loneliness more profound than this of a child denied by his mother?)
Chapter 3: It is settled. Next time I am moving countries, I am contracting Trygalle Trade Guild. Anybody’s got their contact details?
Chapter 2: As your resident Tiste Andii in disguise, I think I could move to Black Coral anydaynight. (Ps remember, sun kills, think of the Sahara desert!)
Chapter 1: Attention for POV change. I swear there are more POVs in this one chapter than in some whole fantasy series.
Prologue: Oh no... only three books left...
* I am not going to even pretend that I could in any way give a pale shadow of justice to this book or indeed a whole series in a proper review. There are many better than me, here on ŷ (and many of those I'm lucky to have among my friends), who managed to grasp and convey the sheer brilliance of what awaits those who open the Malazan Book of the Fallen. All I can give you is a chapter breakdown of my own ponderings for whom the bell tolls.

Are you going to read all the ICE books and Kharkanas?

I am reading the Novels now and so - yes, I will probably continue. But this is not going to be the same :(
I love reading your Malazan reviews. Only two more books :(
I know, I am nearly reluctant to read on!
