A great read. Alot is happening in this book but Steven Erikson keeps it uncluttered and brings everything together perfectly at the end. Not at all hard to follow as the griefers may say but use the glossary often. Don't let the Dramatis Personae at the beginning discourage you either. Most of the characters listed barely have a role and are mentioned only once or twice. Highly recommended read.

Actually quite good. 

'Beware of shadows bearing gifts.'

'the beliefs of the ignorant are ever entertaining.'

Hunger for vengeance poisoned the soul.

'all deceit is born in the mind and there it is nurtured while virtues starve.'

The best lies were the simple ones.
