paranoidmarvin 's review for:
House of Chains
by Steven Erikson
Came back to the world of Malazan after a gap of almost 8 months! And it's as good and as complicated as ever.
The first book of this book (heh) was the most easily understandable part of the series so far, since it follows basically one character and his friends. It was actually fun to read, albeit the prevalence of various horrifying atrocities by these characters.
And then we jump back in the larger whirlpool of Malazan characters. And I am again completely lost. The rest of the book has maybe 5 different groups going on about there own stuff. And it's just confusing to track. The plot is convoluted as it is. But why one single character has to have a thousand different names FFS! It's frustrating most of the times.
Anyway. I honestly did not enjoy it as much as Memories of Ice. But still, good plot progression and satisfying character developments were there.
And I need another break from this series. At this rate I will finish the series by 2030 I guess.
