There's no way to talk about K'azz without major spoilers, which is why you haven't seen anything about him in these threads. . .

Apt, have you managed to learn the hacking art yet? Of course you'd be a white hat.

I've seen in movies that all you need to hack a website or a computer is to insert a floppy disk and type random buttons really fast on your key board.
And occasionally glance feverishly up at an unlocked door.
For me, I'd love to read a prequel of the original Seven Cities campaign.

My bloggie friend and a fellow Malazan fan - Blindman - posted his thoughts on Return of the Crimson Guard on Realms of Speculative Fiction.
excerpt:
Ian Cameron Esslemont has decided to write an epic book. Taking us over several continents (or at least island chains) he brings us to the continent of Quon Tali. We visit numerous locations, previously only hinted at – Unta, the dreaded Stormwall, more of otataral mines, Wickan planes and of course Li Heng and lands of Seti. And all of these will leave you unsatisfied.
Unta and Li Heng have no soul, Stomwall it's function and his assailants still remain a mystery, otataral mines seem more like an prison camp for elderly and senile, and lands of Seti and Wickans nothing but a green blots in the distance. True, the main worldbuilding has been done by Esslemont and Erikson years ago, but still one expects something more tangible when it comes to local geography. So don't expect Seven Cities or Darujhistan from MBoF, or even Malaz city from "Night of Knives". Here the places are no more than badly painted scenography in front of which the story unravels.
As you can see he wasn't too kind to the book...read the whole review.
