I'll just write these questions as I remember them, and not in any particular order.
1. The Trygalle Trade Guild with Mappo and Gruntle on board are now continuing their journey towards Icarium on Lether after a short visit to Hood's realm and Dragnipur?
2. It was Bellam Nom who rescued Harllo from Venaz outside of the mines?
3. How and/or why did chaos and the army disappear from Dragnipur when Rake arrived? The fight seemed hopeless until he arrived and "freed" Mother Dark from Dragnipur. I didn't really understand what happened there either...
4. Dassem is now walking broken away from Darujihstan while Karsa stays?
5. When did Karsa's daughters arrive, and who are they daughters of? They were suddenly there after the Hounds of Light were disposed of.
6. Shouldn't there be more Hounds of Light remaining, where did they go? Barathol wounded one, Karsa and the Seguleh 2nd killed three, Tulas Shorn killed/took three, and the Bear following Samar dev took one. That leaves two unscathed and one hurt by Barathol.
7. Were the Hounds of Shadow killed by Envy and Spite?
8. Do we assume that Baruk heals Chaur eventually? It seems careless that Barathol goes to Scillara and not makes sure that Chaur is OK in the Epilogue.
9. How many characters we've met before are actually killed in this book. The numbers are staggering even though not everyone is equally important. Lady Challice, Bluepearl, Mallet, Rake, Murillo, Orfantal, Hood(!), probably a host of others I've forgotten. Additionally several characters are met and killed during the book. Endest Silann, Seerdomin, Kedeviss, probably more. People have complained about the number of killings before, I know, but this is the first book I've actually been surprised by the amount of bloodlust Erikson has

10. What happens to Snell(?) do we assume that Bellam comes to collect him?
I think that's all for now. Sorry about all these questions, but I need to get my head screwed on straight before I start DoD.
