It shifts away from the grand military conquests and politics that have been dominating prior books, and while the amount of philosophy being packed in may be extreme to some, it felt oddly fitting—very Malazan. I don't think it would have worked nearly as well if it hadn't coincided with a return to Darujhistan, but with the setting of where it all began in GotM, the tying up of certain stories and the beginning of new ones flowed well together. Toppur sögunnar eru síðustu kaflarnir þegar allt fer í háaloft og blóðið slettist. Erikson er líkt og komið hefur fram áður óhræddur við að slátra mörgum aðalpersónum sagnabálksins og hafir þú lesið fram að þessari bók og fundið vænt um einhverja persónuna þá skaltu fara að biðja bænirnar. Ókostur þessarar sögu er hins vegar hæg framvinda og miklar heimspeki pælingar nánast hverrar persónu sögunnar. Var orðinn voða þreyttur á þruglinu sannast sagna.

However, there were some brilliant moments, the standouts being the meeting of two insane characters, and this: Sadness was, she well knew, not something that could be cured. It was not, in fact, a failing, not a flaw, not an illness of spirit. Sadness was never without reason, and to assert that it marked some kind of dysfunction did little more than prove ignorance or, worse, cowardly evasiveness in the one making the assertion. As if happiness was the only legitimate way of being. As if those failing at it needed to be locked away, made soporific with medications; as if the cause of sadness were merely traps and pitfalls in the proper climb to blissful contentment, things to be edged round or bridged, or leapt across on the wings of false elation... Sadness belonged. As rightful as joy, love, grief and fear. All conditions of being. What a paradoxical book. In a series full of slow burners, this is probably the slowest, but yet most steady, until the most explosive of all of the endings. The Andii being their usual selves are pretty annoying to get through, buy Kruppe's... interesting narration gives it a unique flavour. I can't decide if this book is utter genius, or ridiculous nonsense. probably both. THE RANKING THUS FAR DG sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Sigue la historia de un amplio abanico de personajes inmersos en los acontecimientos de un mundo en el cual tenemos al Imperio de Malaz en su intento por dominar las regiones que todavía no están anexadas a él. Viviremos varios acontecimientos en diferentes continentes y ciudades, donde personajes como asesinos, magos, criaturas mágicas y dioses utilizarán todas sus habilidades para cumplir sus objetivos sin importar los medios. Cada una de las primeras cinco novelas de la decalogía tienen una trama autoconclusiva, por lo que se pueden leer de forma independiente, aunque hay un arco mucho mayor que abarca la saga completa, saga que a menudo se ha comparado por temática y su tono oscuro con las obras de Glen Cook como La Companía Negra o con Cancion de hielo y fuego, de George R. R. Martin, por extension y temática. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Darujhistan, the city of blue fire, it is said that love and death shall arrive dancing. It is summer and the heat is oppressive, but for the small round man in the faded red waistcoat, discomfiture is not just because of the sun. Not everything is well. Assassins skulk in alleyways.
