There are a LOT of powers in this book. Some are known well, some less so. I enjoyed seeing more of the Seguleh and Moranth, got a few characters that I actually remembered from book of the fallen, and the inestimable Kruppe. An enjoyable read on the whole, but I need a spoiler read along to remind me of what (if anything) I could already know about certain characters based on previous books. Because some parts of the story make even less sense than I think they should. ( ) Tyranny remains because the weak and fearful seek it. - Orb Sceptre Throne Oh god, another four stars. I think I'm going to coin the term "Malazan Syndrome" for this problem. I think, from a perspective of a "tourist" reader who wants to see a lot of the World of Malaz, this is a very good book. There are some insights into the culture of the Moranth and a lot of information about the Seguleh. Also, if you have read the Malazan Book of the fallen Series (Which is pretty much mandatory for understanding what is going on in this book), you will find a lot of links to that Series in this book, as always. I also suspect that it is somehow tied into the other books by Erikson about the pair of necromancers whose name I can neither remember nor pronounce, as they also make an appearence. You will also find a bit of headache because of the number of characters, as always, but Esslemont is generally a bit more friendly concerning that, and so it was at least possible to keep track of who is who. Also, without spoiling anything, this book has a description of Caladan Brood holding a crazed cat by the neck, which alone is worth the asking price of the book. So, yeah, go ahead and read this book. But not before reading the main Malazan Series and the previous books of the Malazan Empire Series by Esslemont. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The epic new chapter in the history of Malaz--the epic fantasy from Steven Erikson's friend and co-creator of this extraordinary and exciting imagined world. Darujhistan, city of dreams, city of blue flames, is peaceful at last; its citizens free to return to politicking, bickering, trading and, above all, enjoying the good things in life. Yet there are those who will not allow the past to remain buried. A scholar digging in the plains stumbles across an ancient sealed vault. The merchant Humble Measure schemes to drive out the remaining Malazan invaders. And the surviving agents of a long-lost power are stirring, for they sense change and so, opportunity. While, as ever at the center of everything, a thief in a red waistcoat and of rotund proportions walks the streets, juggling in one hand custard pastries, and in the other the fate of the city itself. Far to the south, fragments of the titanic Moon's Spawn have crashed into the Rivan Sea creating a series of isles...and a fortune hunter's dream. A Malazan veteran calling himself 'Red' ventures out to try his luck--and perhaps say goodbye to old friends. But there he finds far more than he'd bargained for as the rush to claim the Spawn's treasures descends into a mad scramble of chaos and bloodshed. For powers from across the world have gathered here, searching for the legendary Throne of Night. The impact of these events are far reaching, it seems. On an unremarkable island off the coast of Genabackis, a people who had turned their backs upon all such strivings now lift their masked faces towards the mainland and recall the ancient prophesy of a return. And what about the ex-Claw of the Malazan Empire who now walks the uttermost edge of creation? His mission--the success or failure of which the Queen of Dreams saw long ago--is destined to shape far more than anyone could have ever imagined. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
