And KCF, how far along are you with FoD??? I really want to read a full review. Wondering if you will beat Pat to it.




Not actually that far - I'm about 250 pages in right now (total is about 650). Pat will almost certainly beat me to a review (not that it's a competition). I'm hoping to have one written around the time of the release date, but my schedule is packed, so that's far from certain.

I'm about 450 pages into it... Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to read... :thumbsup:

Ok so Pat even though there is no POV about rake yet, is he at least featuring heavily in the book? Is he the bad ass/awesome character we know him to be or is it more like you can see the potential? I have always wondered how much of his character is influenced by the draconian blood

I second the question about Anomaders amount of appearences in the book, him and his two brothers, how much of them thus far?

As far as the first 2/3 of FoD are concerned, Anomander Rake, Silchas Ruin, and Andarist don't get much "air time."

It seems that Baruk was completely wrong in many parts of his "Draconean Family Tree".

Well, for example, Scabandari should be the grandfather of Envy and Spite. And he should have already met Tiam.
Was Father Light the Consort of Mother Dark before Draconus??

There is clearly not enough information about these things at the moment, so it's hard to say just how right or wrong Baruk turned out to be. I have a feeling that a lot of "facts" were lost during the course of the millennia, which might be a way for SE to cop-out and work around some of the Malazan canon.

We will have to wait and see...

Thus far, Pat (and feel free to spoiler this) how do you rate it?

Perhaps both generally, and in comparison to other works by SE.

So far, SE is laying A LOT of groundwork for the rest of the series. Hence, with about 150 pages left to go, I'm wondering how well FoD will stand on its own. Though epic in scope, it's not as sprawling as TMBotF. More structured, also, which at times feels a bit odd, given the style of the 10-book cycle (where everything could happen at any given moment). There is a panoply of POV characters, some working better than others.

As is usually the case with trilogies, it looks as though FoD will be a vast introduction that will serve as the opening chapter for what is to come. Still, SE knows how to cap it off in style, so I'm looking forward to the finale! :thumbsup:

So far, it's good. Not great, but TtH kind of sucked until SE brought it to close in a mindfuckingly awesome manner. Still about 150 pages to go, so we'll have to wait and see...
