This thread has convinced me to reread MT again (it's my favourite), at least until my new books arrive from Amazon...

GotM: The Fete
DG: "Children are Dying" (well, all of the Chain of Dogs really)
MoI: Capustan
HoC: The Introduction of Karsa (more succinctly put by others - WITNESS!)
MT: Tehol and the Buggster
BH: Shadowthrone (especially "The Nameless Idiots" remark)

Vox
Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

MT=Trull, gotta love him
BH=I wasn't that impressed by Y'Ghatan the most impressive i would say was Tayschreen. Basically told ST to piss of....so cool

Second round of these... little moments that stuck in my brain...

GotM: Lorn taking out Murrilio, Coll and Kruppe, then backing off because Crokus asked nicely.
DG: Fiddler's horse refusing to leave him to the shapeshifters.
MoI: The story of Gruntle rallying the Capans with the half-eaten child's body.
HoC: Cutter to Cotillion while they're both carrying 'damaged' women... "We're not the same, do you hear me, WE'RE NOT!".
MT: Udinass' inner monologue while Rhulad and Mayen are sheboinging... "Letherri gold is raping Edur virginity.". Or Ruin's trip down memory lane with Kettle, where each acknowledges they may have to try and kill the other.
TB: Truth getting 'sploded.

- Abyss, could go on...

GOTM - Intro.. and the last book, Fete, where everything falls into place: Kruppe's work is beautiful.

DHG - Cloak and Dagger with Kalam and the Claws.

MOI - Intro... and Siege of Capustan, Black Coral. Ending, where Paran walks in to Finnest House, and the conversation with Raest at the end.

HOC - Intro again. Loved Trull's chaining (the scene i mean lol). Rout of the Dogslayers, where the BB ghosts rise up and Raraku floods.

MT - Intro AGAIN... Loved the scene of Scabandari Bloodeye's betrayal of Silchas Ruin. I also liked the scene where Silchas talks with Brys. Also when silchas battles the TTT gods, and when Silchas and Fear meet. Bascially anything wth Silchas in it.

BH - Kalam and Claws in Malaz city... once more. Can't get enough of it lol.

4. HoC: Bridgeburner ghosts.

Gardens of the Moon - the Fete and Raest
Deadhouse Gates - the Chain of Dogs
Memories of Ice - Capustan, then Coral and Whiskeyjack's death
House of Chains - intro of Karsa and Tavore's fight with Sha'ik Reborn.
Midnight Tides - Tehol and Bugg, Rhulad coming back to life the first time, the whole of the ending
The Bonehunters - Kalam, Tavore and T'amber vs the Claw and Y'Ghatan - but neither were that great IMO.

As always, this is a tough q to a, buuuuttt....

GotM: Raest v. the dragons.
DG: Virtually every scene w/Coltaine, but the crossing of the river, with Sorno's death and the refugees rushing the archers, was just brilliant.
MoI: The big finale, with Moon's Spawn coming out of the frozen waterfall. Holy *&%$.
HoC: Andarist's last battle.
MT: Tie between Brys v Rhulad and IB v. the Teblor gods.
TB: Difficult to say after only one read, but Trull v. Icarium was amazing.... such a 'You. Shall NOT. Pass.' moment.

- Abyss, fry you fools.... fryyyyy.


Heh... Seven years and a few rereads later, none of this has changed.

Hey all! I'm new here (first post, wooo!) and I figured this is as good a place as any to say hello. I'm through the Bonehunters so far, and am doing ICE's books alongside SE (i.e. ROTCG is up next).

Here are my favorite parts of the SE books thus far:

GotM- Raest vs Silanna + other Dragons (close is Rake vs the demon lord in Darujistan)
DG- When Fiddler blows the head of the soletaken sea monster
MoI- When Tool decides to form up (instead of floating around as dust) and busts through the wall of Coral
HoC- Kalam escaping from the two Deragoth
MT- when Bugg makes tea out of old cloth, and Tehol asks if it was the yellow or the gray cloth (close second is the Iron Bars fight at the dead Azath house)
BH- Definitely, DEFINITELY when Kalam takes on the Claws at the end. My God that guy is awesome.
