Malazan Empire: questions of my own - Malazan Empire

i have a few questions for everyone on this board. pls. all of you answers will be apreciated.

1- am i the only one who feels that the ending of HoC was somewhat abrupt. i was getting ready for the big finish, then the ghosts,Karsa, Quick Ben/Kalam some along and... no fights at all. Leoman vs. Kalam, Mathock vs. Tene Baralta, Quick Ben vs. Febryl, Desert Warriors vs 14th army. something.

2. why is everyone so mean to Pust? All he does is save everyones lives. honestly, he is the greatest.

3. Why do you think Cotillion cares so for Felisin Younger?

4. can anyone explain to me the story of the rhizan that is toblakai posessed or something. i got none of that.

5. um, what exactly did happen to rakaru at the end?

6. anyone remember in Deadhouse when the three companions opened the book of the apocalypse. Karsa cried because of what he saw.now that we know him, what on earth can possibly make this guy cry???

ok, the last one was not important... but i would like to hear what you all think. thanks.

follow me...if you can
