Editorial reviews

“The kind of epic narrative that will have you scrambling for more.” —Stephen R. Donaldson

“Extraordinarily enjoyable… Erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics.” —Salon

Publisher's summary

All is not well in the Letherii Empire. Rhulad Sengar, the Emperor of a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, surrounded by sycophants and agents of his Machiavellian chancellor, while the Letherii secret police conduct a campaign of terror against their own people. The Errant, once a far-seeing god, is suddenly blind to the future. Conspiracies seethe throughout the palace as the empire edges closer to all-out war with the neighboring kingdoms.

The great Edur fleet draws ever closer. Among its warriors are Karsa Orlong and Icarium Lifestealer - each destined to cross blades with the emperor himself. A band of fugitives seeks a way out of the empire. One of them, Fear Sengar, must find the soul of Scabandari Bloodeye. Yet traveling with them is Scabandari’s most ancient foe: Silchas Ruin. His motives are anything but certain, for the wounds he carries on his back, made by the blades of Scabandari, are still fresh.

Fate decrees that there is to be a reckoning - a reckoning on an unimaginable scale. This is a brutal, harrowing novel of war, intrigue, and dark, uncontrollable magic; this is epic fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most thrilling.

Poor narration but good story

The narration is actually painful to listen to but I’m persevering for the story. If my eyesight was better I’d opt for the printed copy of this series.

Erickson years at my heart strings and doesn't relent in hooked

The author is so completely talented at character creation, adding depth to the good and the bad, consistently confounding my ability to anticipate. This reader sets alive these characters and has an uncanny number of personalities and voices that are consistent and believable

Erikson Broke My Heart

I honestly believe this book was even more painful this time around than it was the first time I read this book.
I knew Toc, Beak, and Trull's deaths were all coming yet I couldn't help but have my heart torn out when it finally happened.
Erikson is a master storyteller. And his ability to weave his gazillion characters' lives together is that of an Elder God. Few things are as satisfying as the final bit of a Malazan book when all the chickens come home to roost.

Huge Story Arc

This was a long one! So much happens from the beginning to the end that if felt like a complete series within itself. It brought a lot from the previous books to a close. Amazing how characters have been been through so much. All Amazing.

Epic characters.

The best ending in the series so far. Never disappointing in scope of plot , character development , and a unique way of tiring it all together.
