One of the best books I've ever read. The complexity can be a bit daunting, but the richness and excitement of the story is in a league of its own.

how does this book only have a 3.82 rating??? I have read the malazan series a number of times and can not understand how people can give the books low reviews than cry greatness for the likes of mistborn, which is a good series but reader is spoon fed everything, and in all honestly its a YA or teenagers book, seriously irks me
Should come with a warning...if you get hooked theres a LOT of Malazan books to get into
A bit complex but the setting and the story are awesome. Great book indeed.
