“As good as I expected it to be . . . Erikson continues to showcase his talents as an impressive wordsmith . . . mesmerising and memorable. Add to this intense battles, witty banter, advanced warfare, new curses, new gods, and escapades with warrens and this world's supernatural and you'll see why I had such a good time.”
— GRIMDARK magazine
“Determined, focused, well-paced and immensely rich novel of war, peace, hubris, consequence, sorcery and compassion . . . this is Erikson bringing his A-game, turned up to 11, and delivering what is comfortably one of his three or four best novels to date.”
— THE WERTZONE
“It is beautiful, it is captivating and utterly enthralling . . . Erikson is unparalleled in both the scope of his imagination and the talent of his prose, but more importantly, he is as insightful and funny as Terry Pratchett ever was.”
— FANTASY BOOK REVIEW
“Erikson burnishes his reputation as a superior epic fantasy world-builder . . . a treat both for his returning readers and lovers of George R.R. Martin-style epic fantasy who have yet to discover his work.”
— PUBLISHERS WEEKLY * starred review
“Erikson at the top of his game, a lean, sharply honed and powerful addition to what is already in my mind the pre-eminent fantasy universe of the last few decades.”
— TOR.COM
“Could be Erikson's most accessible novel to date . . . a must for all Malazan fans.”
— FANTASY HOTLIST
“Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again.”
— ANNA SMITH SPARK, author of The Court of Broken Knives
