- The bell tolls for Erikson
I'm an enormous Erikson fan, and read all seven of his previous novels with relish. I was eagerly awaiting the release of 'Toll the Hounds.'
Sadly, this novel is a significant fall for Erikson from the ranks of the fantasy mighty.

The novel is largely set in Dariujistan, where the entire cast of characters ultimately converge, including Cutter, Iskaral Pust and the beligerant Karsa Orlong. The city is also the setting for such notables as Anomander Rake and the broken remnants of the Bridgeburners.

Darujistan itself is cloaked in a darkness, and Anomander Rake broods within; in short, his usual enigmatic self.

Effectively, the plot builds upon the basis that a Tyrant is prophesised to conquer ... Read More:

Erikson does a masterful job with this newest installment of the tale of the Fallen. Particularly intriguing is the careful development of characters from past novels, and how they have matured since the first installment. This is good stuff. A number of seemingly invicible characters from earlier novels are now a step slower, fatally in some cases. I rated the last book at 4/5 stars which was probably overly harsh, and was hoping that this one would hit the high standard set by Memories of Ice (my personal favorite). Tolls the Hound is a fantastic read, advancing many of the intricate plots set in motion in Gardens of the Moon. Bravo Steven Erikson, you have done it again!

Firstly I will admit that this is not as good as earlier books in the series, Deadhouse Gates being by far the best in my own opinion. But the series has not faltered at all as some previous reviewers point out, its on equally as brilliant a level as always but some will always have their personal preferences about what is best (and also most people only seem to find or atleast admit that things are brilliant until they are older, why?)

I could go on and point out all the different things in this book which I do find brilliant but I am not going to do that, I simply wish to share the one thing that I find in Eriksons writing style which makes him by the far the most superior writer in this genre and indeed I would go as far as to ...

- Toll the Hounds
Throughout the series, questions have been raised that have never been answered. This book acts as a explaination to the previous novels and also introduces a range of new characters. It was a little slow to start but by the middle, it was a true Malazan epic.

- Oh dear oh dear!!!
This will be painful for some so let me start by saying that I am a big fan of the series despite one or two weak books in the series.I place the order and waited so anxiously for this book to arrive after I ordered it but I was very disapointed. There are some good bits in this book but it is nothing like Erikson at his best.In fact I feel this is the most annoying book in the series. It had the right mix of characters to have been the best book so far but instead of advancing the story Erikson chose to write about nothing for 800 pages. Even characters like Karsa, cotillion and Rake lost their edge and did nothing but talk. I didnt feel involved with them, even as the usual expected toll was literally presented to Hood at the end.I had high ... Read More:
