I forgot how straight up the first few sections are with just how brutal and awful both sides of the conflict are.
There are no good people here.

I would join but I just did a reread prior to Lies Weeping - which was excellent! And I was surprised to not see any comments on Lies Weeping considering this is a Malazan forum and Erikson was very influenced by Cook. But maybe I just missed the comments or threads. Can't wait for They Cry in November!
I have the physical book, but I moved when it came in and haven't unpacked it yet.
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Love that the murder of like 3-4000 militia is just swiftly mentioned as a side note as the company departs Beryl

Aswell as the capture of a strategically very important fortress is like 3 lines, we wanted the fortress so we took it...

Yeah that was great haha it gave me a chuckle. I also really like how they only hint at the wider way. Like everything the company does is successful to one degree or another, but they're always retreating.

Good to hear at least someone else in here is interested in it. And I'm assuming all in this thread will get to it soon.

Croaker just invited the homicidal geriatric undead crippled high mage for some lovely tea.
