[Meghan Brownjohn · Rating 5 out of 5]

So well written. Even though war and grimdark subjects aren't really my jam, this book was REALLY good. And sad. So much devastation it made my heart hurt. The Malazan Book of the Fallen is an accurate name for this series. Coltain is a legend. Oooooooh the Council. Korbolo Dom. Nethpara, Pormqual. Mallick Rel. There are just some people who deserve to die. And some people deserve to live. It's not fair. This whole book. Excuse me while I go process...

This book unfolds at a leisurely pace, which can make it challenging to follow early on. The shift away from key characters from Gardens and the introduction of entirely new ones creates a crowded cast and a tangle of storylines that feel overwhelming at first. However, the narrative gradually finds its footing, gaining focus as it progresses. The story telling could still be better 3/5

A wonderful distraction marred by typos that spellcheck could not detect (form/from, out/our). An extra set of eyes from a human editor would have helped here.
