A review by arcuysnn
Bauchelain and Korbal Broach by Steven Erikson

4.0

These collected tales of necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach aren't so much about them as centered around them, but provide stupid amounts of entertainment nonetheless. Gone is the emotional catharsis that is evident of Erikson's main series, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, and in its place is a absurdity on an epic scale, comedy in the stead of tragedy. Imagine a Tehol and Bugg scene from Midnight Tides. Now blow that scene up into a short novel and you have one of these tales. Highly recommended for fans of Erikson's other works, but don't expect tight cohesion with the main series.
