After a long long hiatus from the Malazans, I have finally finished Book 9, what can I say everything is converging and nothing, I do not have any inkling on how this series will end...........
It just shows how Mr. Erikson, with 8 books in this series, IS still able to make you guess on what will happen and how...........a lot of readers really feel lost on his style of writing and yes I do too (I am still lost with Badalle's story), but by the books end some of this questions are answered!!!
An apt description of this book, it's title, some of the things go back to being dust, and every major player/character is dreaming of something!!!! Trying to review the Malazans, before maybe books 1 to 6 was easy, the story is linear, you have the start, fights, middle, more fighting and end, but the latter part of this series, it seems Mr. Erikson changed pace, we have more procrastinations, too much self analysis and less linear story...........
Looking at the end part of the book, I can not help but notice Mr. Erikson is an archaelogist, a real one, maybe just maybe, just like his calling, his stories are meant to be dug deeper???
Still an entertaining read minus some of those uhhhhhhh......chapters........and finally the Malazans one of the best army, I have ever read meet their match.......and we also have the different deities, ascendants, their part is almost over...............
