Resumen del Editor

In Darujhistan, the city of blue blue fire, it is said that Love and Death shall arrive dancing. It is summer, and the heat is oppressive, but for the small, rotund man in the faded red waistcoat discomfiture is not just because of the sun. All is not well. Dire portents plague his nights and haunt the city streets like fiends of shadow. Assassins skulk in alleyways, but the quarry has turned, and the hunters become the hunted. Hidden hands pluck the strings of tyranny like a fell chorus. While the bards sing their tragic tales, somewhere in the distance can be heard the baying of hounds...and in the distant city of Black Coral, ruled by Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, ancient crimes awaken, intent on revenge. It seems Love and Death are indeed about to arrive...hand in hand, dancing.

A thrilling, harrowing novel of war, intrigue, and dark, uncontrollable magic, Toll the Hounds is the next chapter in Erikson's monumental series - epic fantasy at its most imaginative and storytelling at its most exciting.

"This novel and all others in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series follow my own pronunciations of Malazan words and names. My thanks to Michael and Jane and everyone at Brilliance Audio." (Steven Erikson, Victoria, B.C. Canada, January 2014)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Extraordinarily enjoyable.... Erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics." ( Salon)
"Truly epic in scope, Erikson has no peer when it comes to action and imagination, and joins the ranks of Tolkien and Donaldson in his mythic vision and perhaps then goes one better." ( SF Site)

Solid performance and ending but a bit waffle

Solid performance, not the greatest in the series so far story wise, seemed to wander aimlessly in the middle for a bit, somewhat reminiscent of the Middle wheel of time books. But Strong ending and looking forward to the next one.

story still unparalleled; lots of musing, though

I still love every book in this series, but this one really pushed the philosophical monologues to another level. The climactic convergence at the end is epic and exhilerating, but even fans may get a little tired of how long it takes to get there.

Bhagavad-Gita

I felt like I have been reading the Maha Brata and this is the Bhagavad-Gita. It is filled with wisdom and insight and an addition to being a freaking awesome story one of my favorites. It is a spiritual journey.

Be patient it's worth it!

The book was good but it felt like it dragged a bit but towards the last few chapters it became great and it made it all worth the wait!

Series low point, but still far better than most.

Story: huge blocks of exposition drug it down
Performance: while some voices were spot on (Murillio for example), some were incredibly inappropriate, showing a lack of understanding of the characters. Also a lack of range for the large cast.

another good instalment

here is another good instalment on both the aurator with his many voices and the penmanship of this epic journey.

What a wonderful series

Laugh, cry, swell with pride. Do all these and more as a wonderful story is told by a most gifted and skillful narrator. None other than Kruppe of Darujhistan!

great story but bad narratir

It is honestly such a shame that this series lost its original narrator as this guy is constantly involved sitting with his narrative voice and often mixes up the voices of the characters. some chapters are read in Krupe's voice for no reason. Duiker sounds like an insane old man for no reason and many others randomly take up an Indian accent.

I won't even touch the inconsistent pronunciations or other minutiae. what will keep you listening is the phenomenal story as all of the threads draw together. 2 more books of this guy and then I hope I never have to hear him meander around such a masterpiece again.

Almost As Awesome As The Others

I loved the continuation of certain characters story arcs, but I absolutely hated the amount of poetry that was otherwise absent or blessedly infrequent in the books before it.
