Another massive book in Erikson's epic Malazan Book of the Fallen series, this 8th installment took a long time to read, but I loved every minute of it. Much of the action takes place in the city of Darujhistan and we get reacquainted with a number of characters from earlier books.
Erikson juggles about a dozen storylines and even more points-of-view but it all worked for me.
For those of you who are familiar with the series, the mischievous character is the inimitable Kruppe, of course! 6mo
