This took me longer to get into than the previous 4 books. All new characters and a new setting took some getting used to! But by the second half, the story really took off, and that ending! Once again, Steven Erikson has pulled off another fantastic book in what is turning out to be one of the finest fantasy series I've ever read. I can't believe I'm past the halfway point! I'm taking a one book hiatus, and then, onto book six! A shoutout and thanks to all you Goodreads readers who reviewed and recommended these books. Without you, I may never have had the courage to start this series!

First 1/4th didn't engage me and buried so much lore but most was lost on me until later [thanks tor reread synopsis, but that's nost malazan books]. Middle 50% was decent, but that final 25% was phenomenal

EXCEPTIONAL!!! Tehol and Bugg, Shurq and Kettle, Iron Bars and Errant - another gems in my already vast collection of favourite Malazan series characters. Erikson is a phenomenal writer!!!
