The Perish Grey Helms, as led by Mortal Sword Krughava, are also near and headed towards the Malazans. Not far from them is the Snake, a mysterious group of refugee children fleeing the destruction caused by the Forkrul Assail. We have the Malazans Bonehunters having survived the attack from the K'Chain Nah'ruk with help from the Khundryl Burned Tears, the Letherii, and the K'Chain Che'Malle. This part naturally contains SPOILERS for the PRIOR BOOKS: Instead, we can examine the various groups and where they were at the end of the prior book, Dust of Dreams.
After all, it is really enjoyable to read this and figure things out as they happen. It would be very cool to outline the main aspects of the plot, but that would give away too much of the story. Overall, I very much enjoyed the concluding novel of this series. The characters are still the same ones we have come to love (and hate) and the prose is still as intricate as the prior books. As the final book of the series, it does it job very well managing to tie together so many different threads that I am left impressed at the scope and magnitude of the story. Like the other Malazan books, this starts of slowly but inexorably speeds up to a massive finale that leaves you breathless. In the future, I hope to write a post comparing this series to other long epic fantasies, notably The Wheel of Time.Īs always, I aim to avoid direct spoilers, but given that this is the last book of the series, events prior to this book are considered fair game. Below, you will find my review of this book.
This particular one took a while do to my recent job/city/country change, but I managed to find the time and it was rewarding to finish. There are additional books in that universe, by both Erikson and Esslemont however, the main series are these 10 books that I've spent the last few years reading. The Crippled God is the 10th and final book of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson.
