farahbyers 's review for:
House of Chains
by Steven Erikson
Not as epic as the memories of Ice but it got saved by the characters ❤️ although I didn't really like cutter's pov and I hated how women are described in this book which usually isn't the case with Erickson . It was incredibly emotional when we saw fiddler meeting up with the old friends , dancer , kellanvid and Osric started to get incredibly compelling and I look forward to more of their backstory and story in general , now to the biggest character Karsa Oorlong had one the best character development I have seen , I started to feel incredibly sad for Felisin in this book, Kalam and quick Ben convo was incredibly satisfying, liked Onrack's and trull Sengar friendship . Sengar and Greyfog (I think?) were so entertaining to read about ,
Hated some things though : the jarring pov switching is so irritating especially towards the end , the ending "battle" was somehow anti climatic , women description and arcs weren't good this time , Tavore is a bore , the way everything just "happens" like Raraku conveniently awakening before battle and Karsa just walking and stumbling in strange situations in which no logic is explained behind his actions and his journey , the magic behind the souls is pretty weird , I mean who decides when souls should just get trapped and when they go to hood? Do they stick to old alive comrades like what happened with the Wickan dogs , can they move freely ? I really want that to get explained because it is wishy-washy at this point
