Such a loss losing the majority of the Bridgeburners, Whiskeyjack and Itkovian! I can't believe that they're gone but they went in such glory! Not with a whimper but a roar!It was such a good book! It dragged a bit after the initial battle at Capustan but quickly picked up again, can't wait to see where all these different threads are heading!

As for the book itself, it's hard to explain the appeal of Malazan to those that have never read it, but Erikson continues to impress me with the colossal scope and complexity of his plotting and world.
