The third novel in the Malazan Cycle suffers the same highs and lows as its predecessor. The first half is over-plotted and over-populated, more of an endurance test than an entertaining read.
Once various subplots unite, for a spectacular midway siege, Erikson shifts up a league and delivers martial action and emotional character beats with familiar aplomb.
Erikson’s enthusiasm for his secondary world is infectious, but his pacing and structure continue to irritate.
