I'm about half way through but I've been at that point for the last 2 or 3 weeks.
OK, so I've been a tad busy with work and getting ready for the festive season but it's not bothering me that I'm not reading it.
It's a shame, as I liked MoI so much and I have MT waiting on my bookshelf with BH and Nok coming for christmas. |
I thought HoC was pretty good - ok, it had a very hard act to follow as it was preceded by DG and MoI which are both brilliant, but it was easily as good as Gardens for me. Karsa Orlong was an interesting character. After reading Bonehunters, though, it seems pretty good in comparison. The Bonehunters is by far the worst in the series - Erikson was at his best when he was only hinting at the bigger picture and huge complexity of the series. Now he's started bringing it all together, it seems to fit too neatly and simply (and he does have some cringeworthy scenes in it).
I'm hoping that he manages to get back on form with Reaper's Gale.
