Well said. I can't wait to get back to Lether for RG... but MT was too much of a break in the series when the next book wasn't out yet

So, I have not only confused myself but dear Nixie and all of the other Erikson fans, including the 'rocking Cal/Rane!

Apologies to all...

That's ok Rosie, I knew you meant MT

Fair enough

Mind you, you're still wrong

I think what MT suffered from on my first read was the lack of a linking character. Each of the other books has a linking element to Gardens of the Moon. However on my subsequent re-reads I really enjoy the book.

On another note I've finally finished the Bonehunters ...... roll on the next one. It was a great book but asked more questions than it answered.

At last, the book seems to return to the original story about the Malazans, and the various armies of that time.

AND some of my favourite characters have returned, albeit in other guises.

I feel that I am getting somewhere at last...

I feel much the same as Dolorous Edd about MT...which is probably another reason for enjoying The Bonehunters...

Oh bother, he's killed of a couple of my favourite characters again !!

nixie · 19th April 2006, 11:17 PM

Don't believe all you read Rosie

Rosemary · 19th April 2006, 11:46 PM

oh, I know they will be around probably in the next book, but as someone else...I do wish he wouldn't do it though !!

I just wish they'd stay dead

Too true. Its the only thing that's starting to annoy me about Erikson. Too many of his characters that he kills off come back again. The ones that stay dead are so much better - like Itkovian, and Whiskeyjack.

he didnt really bring anyone back from the dead in bonehunters! apart from again mentioning coltaine being reiterated. but hedge is a ghost and well the other major possible resurrection was momentary at best.

He was so close to letting Kalam die, and then he had some random stuff with Dancer and left him in the Deadhouse. Whats that about? Just let him die, Hood damn it!!
