 great September 12, 2008
this is one of those books that you just cant put down. i looked forward to this book for so long after reading bonehunters and it delivered everything id hoped for and more the bonehunters marines storyline is my personal favourite but all are exceptional steven erikson is by far the best fantasy writer ever. a great addition to an already perfect series.

A french author once wrote in a letter; forgive me for writing so much, I had little time. Erikson is obviously extremely pressed for time, and his writing is getting more and more stream-of-consciousness. And since his conversations most of the time sounds like something out of Beckett, contributing very little to the plot, with minor characters speaking for pages at the time, the pace is rather slow. I think the first significant action happened after 300 pages, and then nothing much happened until we passed page 1200. I can only urge Erikson to a) get some really critical readers, b) change editor, and c) remember that if a conversation does not further the plot, it slows it down. Waiting for Godot is after all short, thank heaven.

another great title from erikson, this series has never dipped in its excellence, every novel is a steady progression an end we have known was coming. the scope of Reapers Gale is breathtaking and the twists and turns the plot takes leave you gasping for more. An epic novel and a worthy edition to the tales of the fallen.

I couldnt wait for this book to end. The most exciting plot lines (Redmask and the Awl'dan, Karsa and Icariam) are continually interrupted, just as progress is made, by the drearyness of the remaining confusing sub plots - Silchas, Tehol, Bugg, the Errant, the invading bonehunters. The previous books are all excellent, but for me, this was very poor. I hope there is a return to form with the next book

As with the rest of the Erikson ooks this one does not dissapoint.Dragging you even more into the world of fantasy that can not even be likened to tolkien, the depth and descriptive language used in all of eriksons books never fails to amaze and you'll find yourself not being able to put the book down. his concept and visualisations of characters and places leaves you breathless and gasping for more. an absolute must buy and if you haven't got or read an of the other books you need to buy them, NOW.
