it was amazing

Erikson has done it again! What an asshole!

This book (one of the longest I've ever read) is simply amazing. Erikson keeps surprising me with his plot developments, characterization, and beautiful language. Reading a Malazan novel is a master class in lexicon.

The three main plots of the series are finally converging and the word "Epic" falls short. Everything keeps building up more and more, and the resolutions are really satisfying.

Most of the characters we follow in this books have already been introduced, so there are not jarring "Who the fuck is this person?" feelings like in the past books. (feelings I don't mind.)

Even if the story continues on the following books, you get the feeling of the nonexistence of cliffhangers, and I love that. One of Erikson strongest points are his endings and he doesn't disappoint in this one either.

This is really my kind of series, and is shaping up to be my favorite story ever.

100% recommended! Hood's Breath!
