A good addition to the Malazan legend. A story about the impact of worldspanning events and the lives left adrift in their wake. A book that stands on its own but doesn't disrespect the canon that came before it. A good read all in all.

Love a bit of Erikson. Good stuff here, long may it continue. Feels like set up for the rest of the trilogy at the end of it all but if you're in the mood for more Malazan goodness then no issue there...

One of the best Erikson books yet. The humour is top notch, be it the Malazan marines we know and love or the newly explored jheck race. The philosophising is milder, there are lots of cameos from the main ten books, a handful of lovable new characters and as per usual, the last half of the book speeds up considerably.

At the heart of the story is a hero's journey, climate change and slight time travel. For the sake of balance, I must mention the negative, which is there's a little too much 'we are the super amazing good guys' going on in one faction.

Overall a solid 5 star book!
