balefulknight 's review for:

House of Chains by Steven Erikson

4.5

---

These books are DENSE. It makes it hard to put my feelings into words when there is so much to think about. However, here are some of my favorite bits; Karsa ripping off Bidithal's privates and shoving them in his mouth, every scene with Kalam, the dead bridgeburners ascending, the scorpion fight, Torvald Nom, and, of course, our boy Fiddler. Overall, great book, lot's of humor and grand tragedy.
