The Kharkanas Trilogy Book 1: Forge of Darkness

Finally finished it about 3am last night... and subsequently slept through my alarm this morning and was late for work, but boy was it worth it! I always knew that it was never going to wrap up all the loose ends - not unless it was twice as long - but overall I thought it was a fitting end to...

A hundred and fifty thousand years ago an innocent god was pulled out of his home realm and scattered across the world. His spirit was chained to prevent him from destroying the world in his insane rage. Since then, the world has known misery and fear as, every few millennia, the Crippled God...

Will I start to understand this confusing read if I continue to plough through it? I'm just a little under 25% finished (on my iPod touch). I just find that the story is all over and I'm having difficulty figuring out what the story is really about. I picked it up via a recommendation from a...

A review of the penultimate book in The Malazan Book of the Fallen.

My sixth thread, and a sixth helping of glowing praise - The Bonehunters displaced DHG as my favourite book, and for good reason too! Before I forget - the usual applies, please: no spoilers for the rest of the series (all one published books of it :rolleyes: ), and a warning to anyone who is...

Steven Erikson is just a Glen Cook hack?? Having just read the first three volumes of The Black Company series by Glen Cook I was left feeling shocked and disappointed. How could Erikson use so much of this work and not feel abject guilt? Do not get me wrong, there is almost enough original...

PS Publishing have confirmed that Steven Erikson is writing a third Korbal Broach and Bauchelain novella for them, following on from Blood Follows and The Healthy Dead. The Lees of Laughter's End will be published in 'early' 2007 and will follow on from the events of Blood Follows.

So, here's my review of Steven Erikson's The Bonehunters. I haven't read the other one on this board, yet... so apologies for any re-trodden ground :) I'm not much good at re-hashing plot, so I'll just give you the blurb from the dustjacket (which does a better job of it than I could do)...

The Malazan tales of the fallen have quickly grown into one of modern fantasies most prolific series. Without the possibility of an unknown number of books (erikson has said there are only ten) and with a regular release date of one a year, fans have been treated to some of the hardest and most...

"Fishin'..." is possibly one of the oddest books I have ever read. Just short, maybe, of Iain Banks' "Feersum Endjinn". As Graham Joyce notes, in the introduction, most authors go through a "silly" phase, and this is undoubtably Erikson's. The book is narrated by a nine-year-old boy called Tike...
