Four books in and I've finally stopped trying to classify characters as either "good guys" or "bad guys". This series is so much more than escapist fantasy, there are real world issues with diverse and realistic motivations behind each decision. Amazing sequence of novels!

Wow. Just... wow. Erikson is amazing. Just now in the middle of book four (!!!) I'm starting to see how immense this really is. Simply stunning.

i know erikson sometimes gives you a character only to later on give you another perspective on them that makes you rethink how you feel. i don't want that to happen with Karsa. i was sickened many times by his actions and find nothing redeemable in him.
