House of Chains
by Steven Erikson
I was eager to begin House of Chains and revisit the Seven Cities to see the conclusion of events from Deadhouse gates and while I can't say I was disappointed, I think some of that eagerness really spawned from a desire to re-live the events from the Chain of Dogs story arc, still House of Chains is a good entry into the series, if by book four you haven't gathered the basic premise of what these books are you should probably get yourself checked out, it's doesn't have the dramatic climax of the previous two, yet I feel this is was a more fitting ending given the journey building towards it, I enjoy the style and world building so I'm quite happy about this entry and where it has brought our characters and story, the only major issues I had with it were of more general terms that most epic fantasy suffer from, too many characters makes it sometimes hard to keep track of them especially the smaller players and with so many different plots lines some are bound to be disappointing compared to others, yet the Malazan series has suffered less from this then others I've read in the past also they go hand in hand with why I enjoy these books.
