There is nobody NOBODY like Erikson. The only one who comes close in creating a world is China, even so I don't become as obsessed when reading him.
Whoa, we've got the ancient crew here. Draconus is the main character. Mother Dark is still a Tiste altho she has been to the gate so has transcended with power but she isn't a goddess until the end. She's lost in her darkness, reveling in it and having great sex with Draconus. Her children are dividing over this, they don't like Draconus. And who i ...more

Sadness! It is over!
What can I say about Erikson's shit that I haven't said before?
That y'all fuckers need to stop reading your YA and your classics and your ironic shit and read some Malazan goodness?
That I don't understand how this fucker its not on those fancy award winning lists?

Andarist will known grieve.
Silchas still scares me.

Wow! Not only the beginning to an Erikson trilogy, but there are so many revelations, I just wanted to go back and reread the Malazan books.
The nearest experience to this was when I read the Silmarillion after finishing Lord of the Rings.

3.5 stars. I liked this book, but it did not grab me like the past Erikson books have. Story line was good as always, but the pacing of it left a lot to be desired for. Again Erikson introduces a ton of characters which is not usually a problem for me, but on this book I was stumped. I had a tough time remember who belonged to which faction (besides the main players) and felt Erikson could have strengthened this by giving better descriptions of the characters. I like the fact we are getting a pr
