A review by mr_perfect
Assail by Ian C. Esslemont

5.0

I loved this book, mostly because I adore the world of Erikson and Esslemont. However, I felt the impact of this book was very... muted. Esslemont's characters are wonderfully written, yet seem much smaller in scale and power than Erikson's, and proceed to grow weaker as his novels progress. I only hope this isn't the last book Esslemont writes in this world, as I think he can make a much grander finale.
