House of Chains by Steven Erikson
4.25

Another great entry into the series, with it containing one of my favourite moments as of yet - 
Erikson changes the narrative structure with this book and I think it works really well, Karsa’s journey although extremely disturbing at the beginning I grew to throughly enjoy. 

His idealistic view of Teblor and his purpose grew into something so much bigger - Favourite Pov

Moving onto the rest of the cast, always great to see Kalam and Fiddler, however for everyone else it took me longer to really get invested into their journeys but by the end I was hooked 

Standouts being Gamet, Trull/onrack and L’oric, all of these Povs very enjoyable -
My favourite moment of the book undoubtedly stems from the dynamic between Tavore and Felisin. Their duality so tragic but really compelling to read. 

Both victims to each other but in the bigger picture part of something so much more 

Excited for Tavore to be expanded upon

This is definitely a more contemplative entry, Erikson disposing his philosophy with more expansion upon warrens and Acendants/gods.
