Now is the time to tell the story of an ancient realm, a tragic tale that sets the stage for all the tales yet to come and all those already told... It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power... and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold... Steven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now he returns with the first novel in a trilogy that takes place millennia before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and introduces readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness. It is the epic story of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in shaping the world of the Malazan Empire.… (más)

Wisdom did not belong to mortals, and those whom others called wise were only those who, through grim experience, had touched the very edges of unwelcome truths.

(66)



Among the weaponsmiths of the Hust forges, there was a belief that every length of blade had a thread of fear in its heart. Il could not be removed; indeed, it was bound to the life of the iron.

(92)



The ground in bare and hard

and will hold all secrets

and the sky cares not

for the games of those beneath it.


(103)



You imagine Mother Dark succumbed to invention? Sha walked to the End of Darkness, and stood on a spar surrounded in chaos. And when she called upon that chaos, shapes emerged from the wildness.

All the heroes are dead

I am lost

We are all lost


(378)



A soul made weary of life longed for sordid ends.

(558)



In every tale, truths could be found, dull as river stones in a gem-laden mosaic.

(658)



War is a shout against futility, hostage, but its echo never lasts long.

(747)



And now we are to embrace not flesh, but empty contemplation? I fear the void’s kiss will not seem as sweet.

This only serves to solidify Malazan's claim at being one of the best fantasy series ever written.

CRAZY AND DARK AND CRAZY.

Lots of foreshadowing for MBotF ;~;

I enjoyed this book a whole lot. I am actually not sure if I would recommend reading this before the main series (as it is a prequel), or after the main series, as I did. I think this book would help in understanding what the hell is going on in the main series, but reading this book after the main series has the big advantage that you get so many "wait, you are that guy?"-Moments. I literally laughed out loud when some of the previously-unnamed characters are revealed to actually be important characters from the main series, and others induced moans and shouts of "oh god no, not HIM!"

So, I guess I am saying: Read this book before or after the main series, but read it if you like dark fantasy (and I mean dark dark fantasy - if you dislike descriptions of murder and rape, this book is not for you). ( )

Well, I've put up with Erikson long enough. I'm done.

A whole world awash in hopelessness and despair.

I long for a power to wash away the worst that is in us,

War is a shout against futility, hostage, but its echo never last long


I no longer desire to immerse myself in this type of philosophy. There is Goodness. There is Hope. There is Love. There IS Meaning and Reason to Existence. Men can be Changed from their brokenness. There is a God who Cares and Who has taken Responsibility. There is Joy and Happiness and Greatness in Life.

And now I bow out. ( )
