[Use Of Weapons]

My favourite humour in the whole book is the list of Dramatis Personae, featuring Bugg in three different roles. And then his subsequent hat-swapping in conversation. Bugg FTW!

[Tiste Simeon]

I think one of my favourite scenes is where the Errant calls all the Elder Gods together and they completely pwnzor him. One minute he thinks he is in control, and then they put him in the right place and he is completely dejected. I loved it...

I only just finished. Holy fuck. SE is a genius imo.

In regard to QB... Ruthan Gudd, stormrider,

'caught the stench of howling warrens being forced to do unspeakable things - Quick Ben, how much longer can you hide?'

Is there even more about QB we don't know yet? I can't really believe he was 'Ranalled!'

Also I liked the way the stone Azath that..

'had once been Kalse Uprooted, holding it as if it were a gem or a giant shattered eye. Something about the stone was familiar, but for the moment, he could not place it.'


Sounds like a huge stone Azath with the Uprooted embedded in it ended up looking like the Malazan Sigil of the claw holding a globe, standing like a monument in the wastelands.

oh shit thats cool

[Sinisdar Toste]

just finished it for the second time round (hahah i know, i know) and it seems to me that icarium had moved on. his sulkit-turned-matron remarks on being alone. and she is very definitive about that. her master is gone she says, but strange flavours or currents or whatever flow through kalse. strange as in not the familiar jhag who was just here. i think he's either back on the wastelands or gone through the azath to another warren or something. he could even be moving throughout the realms, attaching his warrens to various azath houses or something, though that's just wild speculatin

EDIT:BEST SET-UP FOR MEETING EACH OTHER IN TCG (BESIDES MAPPO AND ICARIUM): Torrent and Kalyth. i can't believe i never thought of this before, they both go on and on about woe is them and how they are the last of their kind, then brys offhandedly remarks that beyond the wastelands and the glass desert there is the elan, possible off shoot of the awl and it just clicked! awl, elan, not so done for after all maybe

Best opening of the series so far: everyone running away from the reading, a reading which is totally anti-climatic. Classic SE.
