4.5

 My goodness, I finished. It's incredibly hard to talk about this book without spoilers. This is definitely my favorite Malazan book so far. I loved a lot of the arcs going on and background information we got. I'm also angry about a particular decision followed by catharsis then bewilderment. This book will put you through it and I feel like a wrung out sponge in terms of my brain capacity at the end of all of it. I went into MoI as a final chance to determine whether I was going to continue with Malazan. And while I still have issues, I think MoI convinced me to continue. I'm still not entirely sure what to rate it, but it's somewhere between 4 and 4.5 stars. Can definitely understand why it's so many people's favorite Malazan book
