Description Conducive To Books Dust of Dreams (Malazan Book of the Fallen #9)
In war everyone loses. This brutal truth can be seen in the eyes of every soldier in every world… In Letherii, the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen. And in these same Wastelands, others gather to confront their destinies. The warlike Barghast, thwarted in their vengeance against the Tiste Edur, seek new enemies beyond the border and Onos Toolan, once immortal T'lan Imass now mortal commander of the White Face clan, faces insurrection. To the south, the Perish Grey Helms parlay passage through the treacherous kingdom of Bolkando. Their intention is to rendezvous with the Bonehunters but their vow of allegiance to the Malazans will be sorely tested. And ancient enclaves of an Elder Race are in search of salvation--not among their own kind, but among humans--as an old enemy draws ever closer to the last surviving bastion of the K'Chain Che'Malle. So this last great army of the Malazan Empire is resolved to make one final defiant, heroic stand in the name of redemption. But can deeds be heroic when there is no one to witness them? And can that which is not witnessed forever change the world? Destines are rarely simple, truths never clear but one certainty is that time is on no one's side. For the Deck of Dragons has been read, unleashing a dread power that none can comprehend… In a faraway land and beneath indifferent skies, the final chapter of 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen' has begun…

"I am throwing awayWords. You and meIt's a good place to startWe got to lighten the loadCut down on what we carryToday I stop carryingYouTomorrow I'll stop carryingMe." Just a little bit more of buildup. Just a little bit more of setting the right pieces on the board.Just a bit more of listening to those selfish secrets and mysteries characters are trying to protect - until comes in Fiddler, kicking with his rusty, old helmet, and everything starts to reveal itself.After eight books in theOnly one left!Most of this book moved slower than the previous installments which is why it seems to get lower ratings than the other books. While not the weakest Malazan book in my opinion, it definitely doesn't fall into my favourite books of the series category. As with Toll of the Hounds, I enjoyed the beginning more than some of the other books because I did know some of the characters. You'd think by book 9 that we'd know all of the characters, but it wouldn't really be Malazan without
I found this Malazan book the most difficult so far. Originally I made it half way through and had to give up.The reason being that although it is the 9th book of the series - I felt that the characters POV's we were following - I could only really follow/ enjoy about 1/3 of what was going on (the Letherri/ Malazan army scenes with familiar faces). The other 2/3 I found it difficult to distinguish which groups were which, who was where on the map etc... Once again so many new factions, people
The denouement of the Malazan Book of the Fallen is so long that it had to be written over two enormous books. Dust of Dreams is the first act of this grand finale and it is glorious! This volume is another polarising one insofar as its ratings are concerned, and it could be due to a very real syndrome called Malazan Fatigue. Admittedly I was 'afflicted' by this during my first attempt to follow the Malazan recommended reading order a couple of years ago and I did not even start on this book.
Another gripping instalment of the series. There was heartache, horror, despair, hope and many a gut-wrenching scene. Erikson maintains his mastery of this series and the vast array of characters. Many characters met their demise in this one and when the dust is settled it will be interesting who is still standing. After all sometimes in this series dead doesn't mean completely gone. I can't wait to read the final book.
9 down 1 to go, but this book was the weakest installment in the series. For the most part, I have loved Malazan Book of the Fallen. I have been onboard with the series from the very beginning and even though each book was written in the same way I always thought that as the series ended things would get tighter. Well, it seems I was wrong. Dust of Dreams once again introduces the reader to a slew of new characters and story lines that intersect with the characters we have grown to love. I feel
Son of a bitch!! These books! Wait, I have one more to go! I cant fathom it.... Skimmed through anything too triggering. I wasnt even sure I would continue after the last book when (view spoiler)[they killed my love, Rake! Fuckers! (hide spoiler)] But alas, I have to finish. Im only going to read these 10 for now. I dont know if or when I will read the others. Onto the next ....Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
