I'm actually a little surprised that you're a fan of this series though. Probably just because you don't often write anything mentioning books of this type.

Anyway, an excellent review, and though I haven't read the book yet, I know judging from my experience with the other Malazan books that it is entirely accurate. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this wraps up, even though it may involve a reread of the entire series, or scouring the internet for information about all the characters and all the events of the previous books.
